The First Element is Demographics
What’s covered in this learning:
The topic today is… demographics. Boring! Well… maybe not so. Read the PDF, and when you get to the exercise, go watch the video. It will reinforce what I wrote, and then I’ll guide you through the exercise.
1. Demographics PDFs
- The First Element is the Demographics – Click here to download the workbook.
- Q&A – Click here to download the PDF
This Q&A includes questions from Class 3 and 4 of the OCS material
The workbook is meant to be a quick read. I suggest reading the workbook, but waiting to do the exercise until you watch the video, using the end of the video to guide you through the exercise. You may want to print out the exercise worksheets on pages 8-10 so you can use them with the video below.
2. Watch the Demographics video
Here’s the video! It was recorded in HD, so if it isn’t loading quickly for you, or keeps stopping, click the “HD” in the lower right. That turns the HD off (you can click it again to turn it back on).
At the point where I guide you through the exercise, you’ll want to pause it as often as you want to give yourself the time you need.
Your assignment:
- Read the PDF workbook.
- Watch the video.
- Do the exercise that is in the workbook.
- Answer the questions.
You might find it helpful to open up a Google Doc, or another file, or even in a paper notebook (gasp!) and answer the questions there, so you can track your progress.
Questions:
- Describe your experience with the Demographics exercise, and any answers you wish to write down for yourself.
- From Class 2, what did you come up with about who you are called to help?
- What demographics can you spot, or others that occur to you?
- What does your list look like once you’ve narrowed it down?
- What insights or take-aways do you have from this exercise?
