The past few weeks of class have been interesting, but I must admit, I'm excited to move beyond theories and research! Although, it’s not really moving “beyond.” Research is crucial to developing any good campaign, and I know I will be referencing these theories throughout my career, but I'm looking forward to getting into the more practical portion of class.
The lab that we did really made me pay attention to the details of conversation. It was tough to fly by the set of my pants, grab a topic that seemed relevant to the interviewee, and talk for a few minutes… I was a bit nervous (or maybe just completely sleep deprived from Austin City Limits!), and I think I wound up talking too fast... It was good to watch and discuss others interactions and note techniques I would like to employ.
After the break we talked a bit about presentation skills, and then set out the group projects. I am stoked to get started motivating college students to take action against global warming and climate change! I wonder what approaches our groups will take… Increasing consumption of local produce and products? Increasing use of public transit? Biking? Carpools? Recycling? Maybe we can get some volunteers to stand near groups of trash cans, and scold people for not recycling! Or… how about we just put receptacles next to all the trash cans? Seriously, it seems like there are less than ten places on campus (outside of cafeterias/commons) to toss paper/plastic/glass/cans… compared to trash cans every ten feet!
