Midterm Reflection

Freshman Seminar – Andrews

2018

Midterm Reflection

Please answer the following questions… spend about 10 minutes on each + another 15 minutes revising before turning them in. When you are done, please email your responses to me at pandrews@ndnu.edu.

In the prompts below, “your practice” refers to the practice you have been developing with your team: yoga, meditation or plogging.

1) Describe the history and benefits of your practice.

2) Describe how you personally have been using your practice to deepen your connection with the natural world.

3) Describe the roles you and each of your team-mates have evolved as members of your team. What if any leadership or skill gaps still exist in your team and what can you do to fill them? Please describe your level of personal commitment to fixing any weaknesses in your team.

4) Do your team’s activities reflect the Hallmarks in any way? If not, could they? What would that look like?

5) What was most impactful to you about our visits to Shoreway Environmental Center, Bedwell Park and Ox Mountain Landfill on Call to Action Day?

6) Why is it important to compost organic materials, such as apple cores, rather than throwing them in the trash? What happens to them if they are thrown in the trash? What happens to them if they are fed to our worms?
