Doc Ed at Morrill Elementary




I always feel first impressions are important and so do the good folks at Morrill Elementary School. Look at that sign. It fun and high spirited. That's a nice welcome to the school.

The architecture is pretty nice too.


The boards are okay for now but with a big audience magnified,projected images work best. I should be getting the Power Point back from the EAA techies next week in time for my next Doc Ed show.


Picking out a volunteer is always a challenge and with kids it's harder because they sometimes raise their hands automatically because that's the way kids are: They want to participate. You have to set things up before hand to give them an idea what might be expected of them as volunteers.


Yesterday's Doc Ed presentation at Morrill Elementary went fairly well. As I mentioned before I'm still fine tuning it and continue the process through the final days of the school year and through the summer months. The goal is to have it ready and fine tuned for the new school year.

At some point I'm going to need to record a few of these shows to do some serious nitpicking or even better, have Pammy watch a few shows and take notes. I make a few mental notes here and there but there's nothing like a second set of eyes watching closely for good pacing, comic timing and audience reactions.
