Get Fit Fencing
It has been a fun few days watching Get Fit participate in a Intro to Fencing "field trip" at Sullivan.
Get Fit Girls - This would be a great time to reflect on your experience. I will provide some guiding questions to help you with your post - your blog post should not be a list of answers to these questions - please write it in a paragraph that would stand alone (ie. Anyone who read it would understand the context)
Now, what should I write about...
What where your first impressions upon hearing about the opportunity to try fencing in our class? Did those feelings change once you got started?
Have you tried fencing before? How do you usually feel about trying new things?
What did you enjoy? What would you change?
Did you put your best effort forth? Why or why not?
What did you learn from this experience?

Midterm Reflection - SuperFit and GetFit
It is time to reflect on your progress so far in Super Fit and Get Fit. Read over your first posts about why you have taken the course and what you were hoping to achieve. Hopefully, since we are half-way through the course (!) you have seen some changes and improvements. Your blog should be a journal of your progress, as the semester continues, you should be publishing posts on your own time providing evidence of things that are important to your journey in Super Fit/ Get Fit. Less of a list of things we did and more of a reflection on what those things mean to you.
I came across this video from UBC admissions - it is about writing a personal profile as part of the admission process. Academic achievement does not tell the whole story on who UBC wants to admit to their programs - They want to know: What have you learned about life? How have you grown?
Watch this short video:
Now, write a post that is does more than list the activities that we have done as a class. Reflect on your experiences both within and outside of class that relate to health, fitness, body image, self esteem, teamwork etc. Find an experience that resonates with you and write about it.
As is required by the Ministry of Education, please suggest a letter grade and percent at the END of your blog post that best represents your journey in Super Fit / Get Fit so far this year. This course is in progress, and their is room for improvement as the semester continues. Provide an honest reflection!
I will be reading and commenting on your blog posts as you write them, and would like to have time to talk / interview you about your progress during class time at the end of this week and start of next week. Please be prepared to talk about what is important to you in SuperFit and Get Fit. Every interview will be different, depending on what you want me to know.
