Week #5:

#5:

This week, Brooks and I continued going around and talking to homerooms, and we checked the boxes in the office, the square gym, and the circle gym. The box that was in the circle gym is no longer there, so I am assuming that one of the gym teachers disposed of it. The box in the office had a good amount of balls in it, and so did the box in the square gym. No homerooms, besides I10, has had any balls in it. I think that we need to work on advertising our cause, and I think that we need to bring in balls of our own. I know I've donated a few and so has Brooks, so I think that as a class we should each try to bring in at least one ball each. Brooks, David, Megan and I also talked to some of the gym teachers about spreading awareness in their classes. I believe Megan wrote an email to the entire Physical Education department asking for their support. Besides that, the past two weeks have been really slow, and we have not really made any significant progress with our project. The first few weeks of the project we all did extremely well, and we were all on-top of things, but I think that this week we all just don't know what else to do, so during our discussion we should figure out what else we are doing. 

I also don't know what we're doing in the community. I think that we should figure out how we're going to raise awareness outside of the school, and I think that we should figure out how we're going to continue to raise awareness inside of the school. I know Ms. Johnston's other classes are selling bracelets and shirts and raffle tickets, and I know that we aren't offering any type of reward and we're not selling any product, so we should probably think about how we're going to appeal to the student body without doing those things. Although it has been slow, in my opinion, we are still doing a good job. I think we just need to assign new roles and make new goals in order to be successful with the project. 

After our discussion today, we should all have new assignments and priorities that we will be able to pursue for the next three weeks.
