Sponge Activity: Video
I plan on playing a 3 minute video about the Marines and then asking the class how they felt about the video and what they thought.
Answer 1 : Physical Conditioning
I will introduce my the answer then run everyone outside
This will be my first activity. It will take about 20 minutes and will be a miny P.T session
After i bring them back in I will talk about the importance of strength in the military, talk about confidence and the mental side of physical conditioning, and proper nutriution
Answer 2: Discipline
Explain why discipline is so important in the Marines, what restrictions come in the Marines, how its important to change yourself and how to practice will power.
Then i will talk about physical discipline (drill) and then do my second activity which i will teach the class to march, right, left and about face and the different positions
Answer 3: Commitment
What commitment means to a Marine. Semper fi and all that.
talk about how commitment is connected to motivation and talk about motivation. Talk about the bonds between Marines.
The activity will be that the class will have to hold different positions like push up position, 6 inches, squats and maybe planks. Winners will get a prize.
Allow my recruiter to talk about the Marines and the history and all that.
Sum everything up and exit.
I will have the flags up in the room and just some posters and the class will sit on the floor with right over left and hands on their knees.

ReplyDeleteActivity 1. Remember that they will need to somehow use something you taught in the activity. You'll also want to make sure to talk about the specifics of physical conditioning. How does a Marine's physical conditioning differ from someone in the Army or someone studying Jiu Jitsu? Be specific.
Activity 2. I like the idea of drills for discipline. Talk about how things like this increase discipline. You'll want to talk about other aspects of discipline...what they are...how they are obtained...how they help. Avoid the subject of staying away from drugs on your answer here. It is fine for you to talk in your foundation or product about the life change you've had because of this decision, but you don't want to undermine your ethos. You did this a bit in your paper.
Activity 3. What specifically is commitment in the Marines. I see how they are showing commitment by holding difficult positions, but how are they demonstrating that they have learned info or a skill from you?
I don't mind the recruiter being a guest speaker, but you'll want to make what he says go along with what you have presented. You also want to make sure he doesn't outshine you.

The seating sounds interesting (as long as I don't have to do it...ha!)
