Hey Everyone!
An update on what went down at the meeting last Tuesday night at 7.30pm.
ISIC forms: International Student Discount Card forms were handed out. If you didn't get one please come collect one from my door (Office Rm 1115 in Jenkins). The $22 fee is already included in your trip price.
To complete, You will need 2 passport sized photographs of 'yer mug' for the application....see the details on the form. I think it would be easy just to go to Walgreens for this to be done. It takes the hassle out for a couple 'a bucks.
Please bring the passport photos and the completed form to the next meeting. This is on March 24th at 7.30pm in Room 1110.
Small Presentations forms part of your grade: 8-10 minutes
Kate and I handed out a form that has all the presentation topics listed. The presentation is a small 8-10 minute talk about a particular topic that is relevant to the trip. It will form part of your grade for this class. You will do it verbally to the group. This small presentation will be done at the appropriate time on the trip according to what we are visiting. eg. the History of the V & A museum will be done at the V & A when we visit.
For those that were at the meeting they got first dibs on the topics and signed their name next to their topic. For those that need to sign your name to a presentation, please do so as a comment to this blog!
