“Preparing for Civically-Engaged Lives"

Recommended for Fourth Year - Spring Semester

 

 

Theme Overview: In the eight and/or final term, senior Bonner students are hopefully getting ready to graduate and turning their attention towards the future. Ideally, they have completed capstone projects and reflect on their entire Bonner experience to create and share a Presentation of Learning. These workshops will support students to reflect on their college learning as a whole and be further prepared to pursue post-graduate goals and succeed. They especially emphasize reflective, integrative, and communication skills. The final capstone workshop (done after projects are completed) helps students write and share their Bonner learning through publications, essays, resumes, and other avenues.

 

Module  Description 

Theme 8.1

Public Speaking & Preparing Your Presentation of Learning: This workshop uses interactive exercises and peer review to improve students’ comfort and confidence with public speaking, as well as improve the quality and effectiveness of their verbal and physical communication. It includes prompts and activities to reflect on Bonner and college experiences for culminating presentations.
