IDEAS...

So here is my idea...I would like to organize a seminar type presentation to help college students stick with riding at school. I would like to have the main speakers be T. McDonald and Carol Gwin, the coaches of both Intercollegiate riding teams in the area, as well as have several other private instructors from the area to meet with students and form connections. It would be beneficial for students to see that all of this support work is here for them, and it would be a great set up for recruiting for college teams, and a source of business and revenue for private instructors. All in all, my thoughs were organized as follows:

Introduction by myself, talking a little about my personal experiences, giving information about speakers and the universities/teams, and private stables.

Carol Gwin and T. McDonald give the specifics of the college experience - from the 'riding' side of things.

Question and answer session - also questions for private instructors.

Networking with food and drink after the presentation...

I see the place as the Alphin Stuart arena at Tech, but other than that, there are so many other details that I have yet to address, I hope though, that this is an acceptable start!

It is. So what would you actually be creating? I see that you could have flyers for this event, an outline or handout for the event itself, and your part of the speech written out.

Is this what you were thinking? Talk to me about genres.

Everything that you mentioned sounds great - do I pick one, or do all of them? I'm still not really sure what you are asking us to do in this assignment, so please let me know! Thanks...

Either/or. You could certainly do a combination of those three things. Did reading other people's ideas help? Also go back and read the assignment sheet; if you still have questions after that, let me know.
