Self Evaluation and Reflection
As part of the teacher certification program, I have taken a few other education courses in previous semesters, however I have been able to see more academic and personal growth through the Schools in American Cities course than in previous education courses due to the unique classroom environment and classroom activities set by the professor.

Final Fieldwork Paper
I decided to lead a contact improvisation workshop so that other people in the class could learn ways to physically connect not only with the ground but with each other as well. I collaborated with Marian and Abby and we combined our projects to become an acting/dancing exercise. We began with counting as a collective group. Then we did some group warm ups and trust exercises (i.e. leading people across the circle with their eyes closed). This was then followed by another warm up aimed to connect people more with the ground. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough space or time to perform the entire warm up.
