The Groups

Group members change each week in order to keep the spirit of collaboration fresh. Consult the list below and determine who is in your "activity group" for the week; your group for will attend all activities for that week together. You may/should collaborate with each other to contribute articles as you complete your individual activity journal entries, though you are free to collaborate with any students in our collective group you wish; the weekly groups are primarily for experiencing and completing the activities.

The Activities

The daily activities are structured in this manner:

• a site visit to a location of significance
  
• a time of reflection for you and your team to write activity journal reflections, sort through transmedia elements, and create/contribute to articles; this is described in the Syllabus.
  
  

The activities on this calendar are labeled according to Week, Activity Letter; the activity letter has no real association with the activity itself. For each activity experience you complete, remember to create an individual journal activity reflection on your personal profile page as described in the Syllabus.

Group Welcome Activity

After our orientation, we will take a walk as a group to acclimate ourselves to London. We will leave from the housing shortly after the orientation meeting, and walk past the Seven Dials Monument to Buckingham Palace, through the Birdcage Walk, past Westminster Abbey, and end up at Westminster Bridge under Big Ben. From there, you are free to explore the city, though 'please stay in groups of two or more.
It is recommended that you purchase an Oyster Card for tube transport inside the Westminster tube station.
It is also recommended that you purchase your sim card or (other means of obtaining a local phone number). You will need to submit your phone number for our records by Monday evening.

Each week, we will have group meetings where we, the advisors, will check-in on your personal milestones as well as your overall group activity experiences. Please come to these meetings with a list of the articles you've created/contributed to through your weekly activities as well as brief personal summaries of how you, as individuals, are meeting your personal milestone goals.
