<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tjenkins_1983, post: 274520, member: 8167&quot;]Beginning Monday, I will be in charge of an after school club for collectors (in general) at the middle school where I work. I am doing this because when I was in school, we didn&#039;t have squat. I want these kids to work on two things while having a good time in the club. First, I want them to work on their research skills by independently studying about whatever it is that they collect. Second, I want them to work on their public speaking skills by giving a small presentation to the group about their collection. In their presentation, I want them to cover three things:</p><p>What they collect. </p><p>Why they collect it. </p><p>How they got started.</p><p><br /></p><p>As the club organizer, I will address several topics that I feel should be important to all collectors of any item:</p><p>Ethics</p><p>Safety/Preservation</p><p>Research</p><p>Buyer Beware</p><p>Preferences/Specialties</p><p>Appreciation</p><p>Getting involved in local activities</p><p>Finding others of similar interests</p><p>Graded items</p><p>Bandwagons/Past hot collectibles</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m looking forward to this. I am primarily a coin collector, so I can bring a lot to the group in that sense. However, I wanted it to be a club for all kids their age to share their collections and have something to be proud of. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do any of you have any suggestions for improving the club?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
