Week 3

We had some great suggestions for courses.

The course people most want us to repeat is the poetry course and the finding work on the internet course.

These are some of my own ideas for the course on Native history.

    1. Creative writing on how to keep a daily journal
    2. This history back ground on how our Grandparents and our Great Grandparents lived, how we were taught as we grew up from children to adulthood.
    3. Teach our children and our grandchildren of our way of living it very important for them to there family back ground.

    The idea of a course on native history was very popular.

Ideas for new general interest courses are:

  • Health skills - in the health skills I would to see what high blood pressure does and causes
  • For a general course I would have to go with Science. The name of the course would be "Computer Science" We can study all different sciences, Biology, Chemistry, etc
  • As for a new course I would like to a course about Canadian history as well as world history. With the main idea on our own history yet have the option to go further if we choose. We should study things such as who our Priminister's were to what our countries veteran's did in the second world war,anything that has changed the face of our great nation.
  • geography of Canada and the US

Ideas for new practical knowledge courses are:

  • How to effectively search the internet for information and questions - this would help in working with computers and in future courses.
  • Creative Writing Styles - we would study different writings, such as inform, describe, persuade, amuse, etc,.
  • Computer skills - we would study about how to type, how to sit while typing, and the keys of the computer.
  • Job skills - I would like to know more about cold calling.plus if there is a way when faxing a resume to know if the company received the resume.Another point is in interviews I like to know how to answer the questions that are asked.
  • For a practical course I would have to go with computers. It would be called " What you need to know about computers". In this course would be everything from turning it on, how to save work, how to get to web sites, basically everything you need to know to go on the computer for play or work.
  • I would think a course on how important computers are in the job market would be a nice idea. I would name it" How computers help you in the job market" . Learning everything about how computers make our job's easier and faster as well as make us more productive. As we know most jobs now require computer skills,so if we want our current job's or are looking for work we need to know how the importance of learning how to use a computer is essential in the job market.
  • computers, typing, speed typing

Ideas for new creative courses are:

  • For a Creative course I would have to say writing. It would be called "Creative Writing". In a creative writing course you would learn how to be creative. How to put things together to make good writing. To play around with ideas, subjects, and emotions, to be able to put it down on paper and make good sense of it all.
  • Creative course that I would suggest would be to learn about other cultures in other countries. I would name it "How other cultures live". You can expose people to countries where other cultures live differently in everything from religion to what they eat,how and where they live as well as how they raise their children. The differences might surprise a lot of people.
  • poetry- write poetry, music - make up lyrics.
