Proposed Assignments

Hi Everyone,

Okay, now the IWCA workshop is less than two months away, so we probably need to get started. (Did I tell you all that I don’t procrastinate? It’s an irritating habit of mine.) Claire Hughes, who is in charge of organizing the conference, just sent me the list of who is registered for our workshop. I’ve attached it here. There are 11 people so far.

We can do this on email, or on the blog, but for ease, right now, I’m going on email for “assignments.” (I guess I’ll also post this to the blog.) If you look at the blog, you’ll see what we have planned for the day. To that end, I’m going to make the following proposed assignments and then you can agree, or disagree, depending on what you think of them. Okay, here goes:

1. Everyone needs to send to Tif, by October 1, the information needed for the Project Profiles. Tif will put them together in one handout for the workshop.
   
   
2. Teresa, Jennifer, Eliana and Melissa T. need to compile a bibliography of scholarly research.
   
   
3. Tif will put together the “Asset Analysis” handouts for the workshop and plans for that section of the day.
   
   
4. Thomas, Andrea and Melissa H. will contact the participants in the workshop and ask do the “motivation survey”. They will also prepare handouts, plans, etc. for the Ethics of Working with community section.
   
   
5. Tif and Andrea will put together the Action Plan worksheets for that section. (I’ve already got a version of this and the Asset Analysis stuff, just need to revise it for this workshop).
   
   
6. Jennifer/Teresa, Thomas/Eliana, and Andrea/Melissa H. need to figure out what they’ll say for the “Present Types of Projects” section of the day.
   
   

Does this sound good for a start? I’m sure it will get more confusing at first, but it will all fall into place.

I’m really looking forward to working on this with all of you! It should be a fun time.
