Preparation for the Next Session<br />

If you will be adding an optional activity at the next session, remind everyone that the session<br />

will be longer (at least 2 hours) if they wish <strong>to</strong> participate in that activity.<br />

If the optional activity involves traveling somewhere, ask for volunteers for carpooling, or discuss<br />

other arrangements for participants <strong>to</strong> get <strong>to</strong> the site.<br />

Review the options for the next session. You may choose <strong>to</strong> discuss them with the participants<br />

and <strong>to</strong> have them help you select an optional activity. Session 4 options involve inviting a guest<br />

instruc<strong>to</strong>r, which may not be possible with only one week’s notice. Advise the class that it may<br />

not be possible <strong>to</strong> secure a guest instruc<strong>to</strong>r on such short notice. If the group strongly desires an<br />

optional activity but a guest instruc<strong>to</strong>r is not available in one week’s time, consider scheduling the<br />

activity for the end of Session 5 (which has no optional activities) or during optional Session 6.<br />

Choosing Option 4. : Visit an Athletic Shoe S<strong>to</strong>re will add hour <strong>to</strong> the session, potentially<br />

bringing the length of the session <strong>to</strong> 3 hours. Discuss the meeting length with group members<br />

now, during Session 3, <strong>to</strong> be certain they are willing <strong>to</strong> make this time commitment.<br />

Ask guest instruc<strong>to</strong>rs if they have any special equipment needs, how much time they need during<br />

the session, and if they are bringing handouts (one for each participant plus a few extra). Be sure<br />

<strong>to</strong> keep a handout for your fles. It may be helpful the next time you lead a session!<br />

Invite a Registered Dietitian<br />

Consider inviting a dietitian with knowledge of how <strong>to</strong> prepare foods related <strong>to</strong> African<br />

or Caribbean culture (caution: avoid foods high in fat and carbohydrates).<br />
