Worked on bracelets for 2.5 hours (as a group)
In the past week I have spent 1 hour keeping up our Facebook and getting more people to join
In addition I looked for more pictures to put on our Facebook which I did for a half hour (.30)
Discussed in class among me and my group members about what was going into the video (.15)

Our group is making really good progress even though we have only been working on this project for a short time. We are all really excited about our project and what we've accomplished!

Progress Report 2

11/18/2009
Kelsey, Sarah, and I met for an hour to make our proposal. We came up with our thesis and divided up the work for our project. Kelsey is doing a lot of the research and helping Sarah with our video that with have pictures and text. I will be working on our Facebook page and maintaining it. We are also making bracelets to support our cause which we will all be doing together. Our proposal making went along really well and we feel we have a strong topic and our forms of media will portray our topic very well.

Project
Purpose is to inform rape awareness. Our plan is to inform out audience with pictures and statistics and interviews/surveys. Our audience is teenagers and young adults, so basically high school and college kids. For media we plan on doing a commercial and creating a Facebook page to get people to join our cause in raising rape awareness. We are going to use a commercial and Facebook because television and Facebook is a major way they we get messages sent to us. Most high school kids and almost all college students have a Facebook and get sent invitations to join causes and raise awareness about various topics so we think it would really help if we made a rape awareness group and made others involved to show that it really is a problem.

The Epic H1N1

It's too bad that we don't live in Afghanistan because according to CNN.com this past week Afghanistan has closed every school due to the rapid spread of H1N1. The schools will be closed down for weeks, nobody knows for how long, presumably until the disease isn't so rampant. As some people may have seen the masks people were to protect them from the disease, those masks are also used in Afghanistan by all ages. However many of the people in Afghanistan are afraid and are in need of Tamiflu shots. It's amazing how one disease can cause so much panic all around the world. Hopefully we will see this disease go away in the near future.

Ancient City Uncovered

Recently in Guatemala an old Mayan pyramid was founded. This pyramid is now only being founded because of the massive jungle covering it. It is larger that the city of Los Angeles and may soon be claimed the world's largest pyramid. Preservationists are now wanting to preserve this place a protect if from drug trafficking, looting, and logging. The article also discusses how much labor goes into these pyramids. It also wants to tell us how much labor it took to build these pyramids with a person carrying each and every stone that was used to craft these large pyramids.
