=Affinities At Crefeld 2-Thousand-9=

Welcome to the affinity activity for the second round of activities this school year. Thank you for your interest in this. I would like to tell you that this idea was brought to me when I was at my old school, "The Quaker School at Horsham." Now the Head of School, the woman who gave us this idea has given me permission to use the concept and re-write the original handbook.

According to [] an affinity is, "a natural liking for or attraction to a thing, idea, etc." What we will be doing in affinties is taking that passion that you have for that certain topic and turning it into a project. For example, at my old school I did chocolate. So I made a powerpoint presentation and chocolate lollipops for my classmates. I also chose Saturday Night Live later on, so I made my own version of an episode. As long as the topic and presentation style stays appropriate (no sex, weapons, drugs, etc.) you are limited only by your own imagination. The fun is to get as creative as you can. If you do cars, build a model, photography, make an album, motors, build one! It is all about doing what you love. This will stretch your creativity and will be a great, fun experience.

In the activity each student will get their own ready made instructional handbook on how-to and what affinities is all about. Below is a link for "The Quaker School at Horsham," affinity description: []

Affinities was originally a class taken three times a week at my old school. I converted this course into an activity. I will, at all times, do my best to make this as fun as it can be and not seem like an experience that isn't enjoyable.

Now let's get started
