1. Class:
* Visited and toured the Youngstown Center of Industry and Labor.
* Students were required to choose one object in the museum's collection and write about it using descriptive language.
2. Class analysis:
Karen held Thursday's class at the Youngstown Center of Industry and Labor, which is more widely known as the steel museum. The first 45 minutes of class were spent on a guided tour, while students used the remainder of class time to walk around and find objects for their assignments. Karen did an effective job of maintaining the course's theme of work and making the theme relevant to students.
3. Class implementation:
As I continue to develop my course, I may incorporate a "field trip" into the semester. I think that getting out of the classroom and into the community could be a nice change for students.
A field trip sounds like a good idea. A number of instructors go to the Butler -- and a few, like Karen -- to the Steel Museum.
