S360: Exercise Physiology in Splash! Fall 2009 (Oct. 03, 2009)
Learn about nutrition, fitness, and what your body is actually Doing when you're exercising! Answering questions like "why do people seem to have different metabolisms?" and "when am i burning carbs or when am i burning fats?" and "why do muscles get sore?" We will provide some food as sample nutritive diets, and also some exercise equipment and heart rate monitors for some brief experimentation! :D


C436: Shamans and Medicinal Plants of Ecuador in Splash! Fall 2009 (Oct. 03, 2009)
To begin, I will introduce the question of "who is a shaman? what powers do they have/what role do they play?" In lecture format, with questions and discussion allowed of course, I will relate a typical shamanic cleansing ritual from the Andean highlands of Ecuador, and explain the beliefs and resources behind them, the controversy and skepticism around them, and their role in the culture of the peoples of Ecuador. I will use props, but mostly slides, in order to make my presentation. Some music may be played as well.


L446: Poetry Workshop Seminar in Splash! Fall 2009 (Oct. 03, 2009)
Express Yourself!! This two-hour workshop will introduce our students to various types of poetic expression. After some reading aloud of other poets and authors, the students will then be given a prompt which they must write their own works about. These works will then be read aloud and discussed in smaller groups. They are not to be criticized, but critiqued; positive feedback through which they enrich their mode of manipulating language in order to express themselves.
