For this weeks blog I will talking about how my partner and I plan on wrapping up our project. To finish out our project we will be creating a video/PSA to create awareness on how we all affect the environment and we will also include how we can all do simple things to help better our environment. My main goal for our project is to show people how easy it is to get involved and how little things impact our environment. We will create this video by gathering clips from the deeds we have been doing around our local community. So in order to pull this off and get it together before the big presentation, my partner and I need to work hard to make and edit this video. To prepare for our big presentation we need to put together the video and also figure out what our main talking points will be.

This week my partner and I have been thinking about what else we could do to help spread the word about our project and the environment. We met and talked with our teacher who helped guide us to the decision to create a short video of our experience at the Nature Institute. Gracie and I have decided we should try and visit the Nature Institute before we go volunteer there. We will be volunteering there in the middle of March so we hopefully will get there to explore the place before then. We will be creating a short video of us at the Nature Institute about our project and about why we are at the Nature Institute and about how you all can help take care of the environment. We hope to be able to go and make this video and be able to show it at our final presentation for our project in April.
This week my partner and I have thought about a lot. As I wrote about in my last blog post, we will be volunteering at our local nature institute. However, we want to be able to take what we learn there and share it with our community. We have been thinking of ways that could be possible. We have an idea but we aren’t completely set on anything yet. Our idea is to rent out a space in our community and share what we have learned and our experience when we volunteer. Also, my partner and I have made posters that we will hang up around our community. The point we want to get across with our posters is to not litter and if you do see trash laying around to pick it up to help out our community. In previous blogs, I mentioned creating a twitter account and that is also something I will be doing this weekend.
My partner and I today made a lot of progress on our project. We decided to call the Nature Institute to get more information on how we can volunteer at their institute. The call went very well and we will be volunteering there in a couple months at their next big volunteer project. We hope that once we get to the volunteer place that we will be able to learn a bunch of things that we can do in our local community. We also want to be able to educate others on what they can do that will help better our environment. On another note, my partner and I have decided to create a Twitter account since we will be doing things around the community. We want to be able to post on social media to spread awareness on how everyone can help their community. We are very excited to be taking bug steps forward.
For my blog this week I will be talking about where our projected will be taking my partner and I over the next few weeks. My partner and I have been trying to think of ways we can educate our community. We watched a documentary on Netflix all about the environment and ways we can all help better it. We have decided that we will set a date and show the documentary to our community. How we will do this is by reserving a space somewhere in our community and making posters that will include further detail and information. We will show them the documentary and introduce them to our project and tell them about what we will be doing for our community and how they can be involved. On another note, my partner and I have called the Nature Institute and hope to volunteer there within the next few weeks. I am excited and ready to be involved with our project.
For this weeks blog I will be updating on what we have done for our project. Like I stated in my last post, our project is about helping and learning about the environment. So far we have done some research about a relatively local institute called The Nature Institute. We have emailed one of their team members and are still waiting to hear back. In the email we asked them if we could set up an interview and also if there is anyway we could volunteer at their institute. We also plan to get in touch with our local Arboretum because it is currently under construction and we are hoping that they will need lots of help whenever they are planting new things. We have been waiting to hear back from The Nature Institute but I think our next step will be to contact our local Arboretum so we can really start to get involved with helping our environment and community.
This weeks blog post is going to be about our final decision on our 20 Times Project. I am very excited to share with you all that our project will in fact be involving the environment. My partner and I talked it over and we decided that it would be a fun and also a very impacting project if we did it about our environment. Our first steps will include contacting relatively local nature institutes to possibly set up some type of interview so we can educate ourselves on how we can help and better our environment. We will also be asking if they need any volunteers for any of their work. We will also be reaching out to the people who are working on redoing the Arboretum. We will be asking if there is any way we could volunteer to help with anything they need done. I am beyond happy that we have finally came to a decision and I am also very excited to get to work on this project. I think it will be a fun learning adventure and I also think it will make a great impact on our community.
For this week, I feel like my partner and I have not gotten much done unfortunately. It has been a busy week for both of us and my partner has gone on a mini vacation so it has not left us a lot of time to discuss what we want to do with our project. Personally, I am wanting to change the project completely to make it about the environment. I am not really sure what my partner is wanting to do because I have not been able to talk to her that much this week. I feel like if we go with making our project about the environment that our project could really benefit our community. I also feel like the environment is something that interests my partner and I and it is something that we really do care about. Therefore, I think that making our project about the environment is something that we could do to really help our community and to actually make a difference.
In previous blogs I have been writing about how my partner and I are still unsure what we will be doing with all of our interviews and with all of the data that we will be collecting from those. Today I will be writing about how our project is going to be changing. My partner and I could not figure out what we wanted to do with all of our collected data so we have decided to change our project. We have narrowed it down to two ideas to solve our problem. Our ideas include either making our interviews not about personal dreams but about their community dreams and what they want to see happen in our community. This idea is sticking with the dream interview category. Our other idea is changing our project completely by making it about our environment. My partner and I both are highly interested in the environment and would like to help change it around our community. By next weeks blog we will have decided on what we want to do and hopefully it will take off from there!
This week I will be writing about more of the little details of our project. My partner and I have set a goal to figure out what our next step for our project will be. We have decided that we will be using an app called story corp to record our interviews when we get to that step. We will be interviewing various people like I stated in my last blog. Hopefully by next week I will be able to get into more detail about our interviews. Unfortunately I am still unsure what we will be doing with all of this collected data. What our ideas are so far include collecting this data, showing our results, and then analyzing them to decide what to do with them. I feel like this project could take us into many different directions however my partner and I just need to decide on which path to take. Our next steps will be trying to clarify our project and where it is headed and also trying to figure out who we will interviewing and what questions we will be asking. I am exciting for our future plans and to be interviewing lots of different people. A lesson that I have learned from previous projects is to not procrastinate so I am hoping that my partner and I can try to figure out where our project is headed so we can get to working on it and start interviewing. This blog may be a little boring but it is only the beginning to a very exciting journey!
