This is an example of one of the outdoor pursuits that the Johnson Center has to offer, they are weekend long trips and you go to the Chattooga River in Georgia/South Carolina and go white water rafting for two days. The outdoor trips are very eventful and keep you busy. They are also very cost effective because college students are always on a budget. This is helpful for my project because it shows the different ways the Johnson Center gets involved with the student life. It also shows what they already do so we could brainstorm different ideas and trips for them to go on. The Johnson Center does 8 trips in fall alone, with more in the spring and the summer. The prices and types of trips range from 20 dollar rock climbing, to the most expensive being the white water rafting weekend. They offer backpacking, adventure hiking, bouldering, snow-skiing and day hikes. I’ve talked to kids that have gone on the outdoor pursuits and they say it’s a great way to get exercise and get off campus for a while. You can also make new friends and meet people who enjoy the same things as you. I think this a great thing that the University has to offer.
This was very informative, I had no clue the Johnson Center offered trips, let alone off campus. The JC has a lot to be proud of, but giving students a chance to go outside and do something unconventional, like white water raft, is something the organization should take pride in. Do you have to go to JC to sign up, or do you do it online?
ReplyDeleteDevin, you do a nice job summarizing your sources and starting to reflect on how they could be useful. Look at the assignment instructions on Blackboard to make sure that you are meeting all 3 requirements for blog posts. For future posts, you need to keep reflecting on how sources could be used in a documentary and you need to ask questions that might help you further your research. When identifying your sources, make sure to give the title, author, where you found it, and what type of source it is. For images/photographs, give the name of the photographer or artist. If you cannot find this, you should still give information about where you found the image. You could specifically use this source as part of a photo montage in your documentary, but you will need to be prepared to cite it properly.
