CO-CURRICULARS

Co-Curricular activities are events that allow students the opportunity to learn outside of the classroom. These events come in a wide range of formats and cover a wider array of subject matter. After attending a Co-Curricular events, students write a summary of and response to the event.
The format of these assignments is I first summarize the event and then elaborate on how it relates to myself, and the world. The writing in this section is not particularly formal, but is similar to that with in the Making Connections section. What makes distinguishes writing in this section for that of other sections is that I wrote more so about the event and its relevance to myself than simply my own writing.
This was a familiar assignment for me as I have been asked to attend Co-Curricular activities for other courses. I do believe it is important for students to take advantage of all of the programs taking place on campus. It was important that I take notes at each event so that I could write about them late.
