This week in class

This week in class, I really enjoyed listening to everyone's initiating action projects.  Professor Scott sent my feedback for that, and it was sort of what I expected.  My main concern that I expressed in my cover letter was that I wasn't sure if I was fitting into the genre of an editorial.  She told me that it was more like an essay, which I expected to hear.  I had changed my editorial to add more detail, but realized that less detail may leave the reader wanting to know more, and therefore get involved.  
In class, I was happy to observe what other people did for their projects as well.  I really liked the way that people used videos or a website.  That was very creative, and had a good effect on me.  It also helped me to observe the posters and get a sense for how other people were presenting the posters in relation to mine.  I made the decision to have my poster display the facts so that people got the basic aim of my project, but didn't know exactly what I was doing.  
I think over Thanksgiving break I'm really going to focus on revising my work for my portfolio.  I haven't really done much work yet for that, so it will help me a lot if I can get that done with and focus on actually making the portfolio after break.
