Back Pack Day Pre-Reflection 1

Back Pack Day Pre-Reflection- Casey Walker

Reflect on the group process during the planning portion of this assignment.

The group process during the planning of this presentation was fluid

and smooth. Nicki was geared up and excited about the back pack day

awareness campaign and took charge early. She organized the

information that was needed to be obtained for the group and played a

major role in the guiding of the presentation ideas, description, and

roles. The assignment instructions were uploaded to a Google

document that permitted all seven group members to contribute ideas

and keep open communication on the planning process.

Discuss how you see yourself fitting into the actual presentation of Back Pack Day

information

I imagine that I will be a good facilitator for gathering people to come to

our table. I have worked many similar booths in the past, as well as,

working in a restaurant I have learned how to engage people in hearing

a short speech about what you have to say. In addition, I have become

well-practiced in describing information that individuals might not care

to be bothered with in a fun, professional, and entertaining way so that

they are encouraged to listen and participate in the subsequent action.

Back Pack Day Pre-Reflection 2

As one of the group members that will be demonstrating the incorrect

and correct ways to wear a back pack, these skills will become very

helpful in getting individuals attention so that we can educate them

about the importance of back pack safety.

Share your thoughts on the purpose of Back Pack Day Awareness

Back Pack Day Awareness is an important component in the realm of

occupational therapy. It is something that many individuals do not pay

attention to and fall in to bad routines and habits thoughtlessly. Many

individuals do not pay attention to the strain and wear and tear that

occurs due to poor ergonomics in bag, purse, briefcase, and/or

backpack carrying. It is important to educate as many individuals as

possible about the potential risks of these poor body mechanics and

ways to change it so that they can prevent injury
