Week 2 and 3
There hasn't been anything too exciting to report from the past two weeks. My days pretty much consist of a normal 9-5 workday in a cubicle. Granted, the work I'm doing is interesting, I still pretty much sit in front of my computer researching the content for the four lesson plans I have to complete before the 30th. My second week I revised an already existing lesson on record sealing. Considering I have no knowledge of the process or requirements for a youth to have their criminal record sealed this was quite a challenge. Thankfully there are experts in the office whose sole job is to help youths through the process. I still haven't completed this lesson because the requirements and process explanation are pretty complicated and I have to simplify them and include some sort of activity so that the youth can understand the basics and not get too bored. I moved on at the end of my second week to begin work on a lesson on immigration. The holiday in the middle of the week was a nice break but the immigration lesson has been a challenge since. Even though I 'm supposed to complete a lesson a week I am still working on immigration and have narrowed it down to two separate lessons, one on the process to get U.S. citizenship, its benefits and the types of crimes that can prevent one from gaining their citizenship and a second lesson on the recent issue of raids and how the youth can protect themselves from arrest and deportation. Hopefully this coming week I will have these two completed and can move on to the last two, banking and domestic violence. Hope everyone is doing well.
