6. Jay Mann's Insanely Long & Intimidating Email (about Community Placement)...Made Less Confusing
1. Visit http://education.illinois.edu/sce/community-experiences/education-201-identity-and-difference-in-education and check out all the stuff. You will use all the stuff. New stuff will be added. Go there a lot.
2. On the above site, there's a document titled "Placements by Discussion Section." Basically: each discussion section is working with certain community partners. If our section doesn't have the community partner you want to work with, feel free to switch to a section that does. I put our list down below...
3. Also on the website is the "2017-2018 Placement Site Guide" with a full description of each community partner. READ IT. There's lots of info.
4. OK THIS IS IMPORTANT: ONCE YOU'VE READ EVERYTHING, visit this link to complete a first DRAFT of the Placement Application: https://cte-s.education.illinois.edu/dotnet/account.aspx/login?portal=sce

Final placements are managed by JAY MANN'S office. They will try really hard to give you one of your first choices, but no guarantees...and SPED people will NOT be placed with SPED students.
5. Some sites (SOAR, Don Moyer, Girls Go For It, etc.) will be placing students early. Jay will use the information on your draft application to make these placements by 9/8.
6. All other placements will be completed after your REQUIRED attendance at the campus volunteer fair to be held on September 19 in the Illini Union Ballrooms, from 10:30AM to 1:30PM. You will have a chance to meet and greet our partners, share more about yourself (using a questionnaire on our website), and then edit your application to reflect your placement preferences by 5PM that evening (September 19).
7. You will receive an e-mail from the School and Community Experiences office with your official placement letter. You'll get instructions. You'll begin no later than the end of September/first week of October.
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ISSUES CONTACTING YOUR PLACEMENT, NOTIFY US ASAP.

- 9/10: first forum post due by MIDNIGHT
Homework (Artwork) DUE 9/6
- Think about all the different steps that go into your writing process. For example, when you are given an assignment, do you immediately start planning, or do you procrastinate? Do you panic? Do you enter it into your calendar? When you sit down to write, where are you: at a desk, or in the library, or at a coffee shop? Do you write all in one sitting? Do you take breaks? Do you create an outline first? Do you have pets that "help" or do you listen to music? Do you let others read it?
- Using whatever art supplies you want, visually draw the writing process of a paper you worked on in the past, or your typical writing process.
- Consider everything that went into the process from start to finish.
- You are not Van Gogh; just do the best you can and have fun with it!
- Bring in your finished piece next Wednesday and prepare to share and explain it with others.
