Introduction: | The program will be opened with an attention getting skit. Students will be instructed to take a piece of paper and divide it into three sections and told to write down descriptive words for each of three sections of the skit. An participant will be chosen to assist the instructors in this execise and told to respond each time with the words, "Thanks, I see you put a lot of thought into this". The instructor will tell the participant to close their eyes as he has a suprise for them. The instructor will do this three times and present the participant with a cup cake each time. The first time will be a store bought commercial cupcake, the second a dimly decorated home made, and the third a large fancily decorated home made. The rest of the students will then engage in a discussion on what descriptive terms they wrote for each example and discuss how they felt. The purpose of this execise is to engage the students affectively and motivate them to want to be craetive and participate. |
