Preparation
During the Spring Quarter of 2010, Fredrick Lewis and I will be leading a class to help our group prepare for the summer program.
We will be covering things such as summer project ideas, to passport applications, what to pack, equipment requirements as well as various aspects of German culture.
This class will be meeting on Wednesday nights from 7pm - 9pm in Seigfred Hall, Room 306 [on the OU campus]
Projects
While in Germany this summer, each student will be required to produce a short video documentary. Working as an individual or as a part of a small team, each story idea will be heavily researched before we leave Ohio. Once we arrive, Fredrick will begin teaching the story telling process and I will be teaching the tools, as the participants begin to build their projects.
