Five min. presenation

What will you be teaching?
Midwifery, and the different types of midwives.

Objective:
The students will learn the difference between OB's and midwives. They will learn what a midwife is and what they do to get to their position and how they help not only women but the community as well.

Procedure:
First to engage the class I plan on asking if any mother or soon to be mother that they know of has ever had a baby delivered by a midwife or plans to.  I can also ask what they know of my topic, or if before school started did they know about midwives. (Interpretive)
Second I can go over the objective and go more into depth with the facts that i know of (Literal) I can use what i know now to help better their understanding between the differences.
I can also explain why I chose to to do my senior topic on Midwifery and why I will be a Midwife:) And what I hope to gain from it, I'll briefly go over my goal at the end of the project (Applied)
Finally I can check for their understanding (which I'll explain on the bottom)
Check for understanding:
I'll check for their understanding by simply asking them questions on my topic.  Hopefully they ask me questions, and if I don't know them I'll search what they asked and get back to them.  I'll try to connect with the audience at this point they will have more knowledge and i think they will be more comfortable with the topic and with questions they have. (Interpretive)

Materials:
I wont need a lot for this lesson, actually I'm not really sure on the visual that I'll have.  I'll probably take some brochures or a book my midwife gave me. Or a poster. (I'm not sure yet)

Interview 1 prep

I plan on interviewing the Midwife I'm doing my service learning with. I want to interview her because she is one of my main and best sources.  Some say you shouldn't interview your best source first, but i feel it can go either way. My best source can open many more doors for me and can help me by giving me more choices and opportunities.

The questions of my own i want to ask are:
What is your opinion on Certified Nurse Midwives?
How long does it take to become a CNM?
How long did it take you to become a Certified Professional Midwife?

a) I'm Interested in studying Midwifery. What can you tell me about it?
b) From your perspective, what could i study that would be significant?
c) Who else would you recommend I talk to?
d) What kinds of places or activites do you recommend I do for the service learning requirement?
e) What books should i read in this field?  What other resources can you recommend?
