I created discussion questions for this topic and have worked on creating lesson plans for it as well.

My Summer Job Write up 2011
This summer I worked for Centralta Tourism Society in St.Albert. At first there was not much for me to do as Canada Summer Jobs was late in giving out funding making my offical start date later. The first project I worked on was the Marguertie d'Youvillee / Grey Nuns Mural project with ESSMY school in St.Albert I reasearched and found information on both. I created a Grey Nuns Blog and worked with the school on providing direction for the mural by finding resources and pictures to use in the mural. I also worked at recruiting students to be involved this was successful and I set up alot of the groundwork so that this project can start in the fall of this year. Then I worked on reading stories and writing up Questions and Answers for the Grades that the stories applied to. This took a lot of time. I did presentations to grade 8 students about the Japan Albert blog and my experience there. This was very enjoyable. I attended many meetings, worked on PAC blog and getting my Tech assistants to do research for me and to work on PAC and New Comers to Canada blog. I have done alot of networking with the Schools in St.Albert by volunteering and contacting the schools. For example, I worked with students and staff from Fowler school and did a video interview with Mr. Fowler, for whom the school is named. I have also been working on reading The End of Religion for the Faith in Action Blog I hope to get this read by the end of the summer.
I only had a 6 week position with 240 hours making it difficult to get work done but still save my hours so that I could be involved in hosting and working with Japanese teachers and attend the summer meetings. The most difficult aspect of the Job is working on things I'm not passionate about and working with others, who don't communicate or get their work done well or when I need it done and waiting on others in order to get my work done. I enjoyed the mural project and working on it with ESSMY. I did not enjoy the big group work meetings, as it did not help me do my Job better as I had learned most of what was covered last year or it did not apply to me. The only things I learned at the big group meetings is what others had accomplished. I enjoyed the repetitive activities the least, as I found them boring and not where my passion or interest. I enjoyed working on the Alberta/ Japan, New Comers to Canada and PAC and Grey Nuns blog as they were more interesting, as I got to work with others and I can see where the blogs are going and how they will be used and how what I did impacted others. The Questions and Answers and summary of stories I did not see how what I did would impact and get others involved in the future as people don't want paper copies anymore they want Internet sites, videos and pictures.
