Progress Journal #6

Time: 30 minutes

On Monday, we made sure the presentation was just right. On Tuesday, we presented our website and t-shirts to the class. I think we did a good job, and I know how hard we worked on it. I think it definitely showed, because we had many pages and there was a lot of dynamic to our website. I feel like we presented information that the group thought was interesting, and it was information that needs to be known throughout the world. I think our passion also showed through the presentation. We all believed in what we were talking about, and we started to feel like it was a website that really was out there for people to donate and use.

Progress Journal #5

Hours: 2 1/2

Ashley and I started the shirts last night, and finished the back of them today. We worked on them yesterday for about two hours, as well. They look really neat. We took pictures of the three of us in the shirts and put them on the website so that we can "sell" them. They will be for sale at our concerts also! I think this project has been really interesting. We've put a lot of time into it and I hope it shows!

Progress Journal #4

So, this is for the Wednesday and Thursday of last week.

Hours: 2 hours

We met briefly, but I mostly worked on the posters by myself in my room for the concert series we're putting on the website and taking the posters to show during our project tomorrow. I think it should add to the project definitely, and they're all my own designs.

Progress Journal #3

Total Time working on this project today: about 3 hours including research

Today we decided exactly how we wanted the website to look and what exactly we wanted to put on it. We looked at some videos together, and we figured out how to put youtube videos on our site. We also have a rough draft of a mission statement. On my own time, I read more about the cause and took some time to look at a lot of different statistics. We also decided to add a blog to our website, and I found a site that Paul McCartney founded and wrote about it on there. It is coming along well, but we still have a lot of work to be done. We still need to figure out just exactly how we are going to make the t-shirts. It will all pull together, though, I'm not worried about it at all. I've done a lot of reading, and I started on the "Did you know?" section of the website.
