Day 15 (May 18) - CAMP DAY 3

One of most fun and challenging days was our third day of camp where we explained officer roles and responsibilities as well as how to maintain a successful organization. The students learning about what officer duties are required in each position. The FFG has an Editor instead of a Reporter and a few other different offices. The students met with other officers in the same position and created a presentation about the duties of their position so that everyone was aware of each others responsibilities. Proper organization of meetings was introduced along with use of the gavel and parliamentary procedure. We did not have a gavel so we ended up utilizing the toy baseball bat we brought with us. By the end of the session the student really understood the basics of parliamentary procedure and how to run a meeting! The final lesson for the day involved speech and presentation development and presentation. This was especially usefully since the students just found out that elections for National FFG office would take place the next day. Each student wrote a speech about what they learned at FFG camp. Our hope was that the students would share their speeches with fellow students back home. We thought it would be fun to teach the students a dance to get them energized before each session, so we started learning the YMCA!
