Looks like everyone is enjoying his or her placements! I’ve been enjoying mine, though I had a minor setback. I got sick again ☹. I was just sick for 3 weeks right before the school year started so I didn’t think I’d get sick so soon. My concern was missing placement and getting my LSS sick, I using her computer and we work in a very small space. My dilemma was taking the day off completely or working offsite.

Unfortunately, we can’t participate in the activity as readers but students definitely learn better if they can practice it first-hand. If we learn the distinction between each method, we can appropriate them accordingly. The topic for the activity was people’s attitudes toward aging (Candall and Busselle, 2009). Students categorized adverts according to the product advertisement in Elle (young adults), People (neutral), and Good Housekeeping (older adults). They were able to manipulate their results by using subtle variations to the following questions: “By the time one reaches 60, most of the fun of life is over” and “One’s retirement years can be the best years of one’s life” (Candall and Busselle, 2009, p.
