This weekend the Pre-College group kept very busy! On Friday, the group visited Magic Gardens in Philadelphia. They split into pairs and participated in a photo challenge. Each pair was given a list of various objects such as a circle, the letter A, the color blue, and had to take a picture with that object. Friday night was our talent show! The rule was everyone had to participate so we had a great variety of signing, dancing, magic tricks, jokes, and skits!
On Saturday, the Bonner staff engaged the Pre-College group in two workshops. The first workshop was called "Leadership and Personality." During this workshop, students took a personality color test then broke up into groups depending on their personality color results. The students who had the same personality color results then discussed how their personality directly related to their leadership style. For example, a student who's personality color is Blue is more likely to lead by making positive, encouraging relationships while a student who's personality color is Orange is more likely to lead with enthusiasm and creativity.
The second workshop was called "How to Revise Content and Grammar in Your Writing." Students learned how to revise and edit their essays to reach college level writing. The students had the rest of the day for study hall to complete their annotated bibliography. The day ended with a few games of volleyball and a trip to the movies!
(It was a tough few games!)
Sunday was completely dedicated to finishing their annotated bibliography and starting their research paper. The Pre-College Non-Credit program, a one- week program, also started on Sunday. The students were able to met the new group and participate in a few more team building activities.
