Winter Break

Winter Break is so close, yet it will seem like forever until it comes. Next week I have 1 final a day which I am not really looking forward to. I just want to be done with classes for the semester. The first thing I am doing over winter break is going to Brown County with my dad's side of the family and staying in the cabins. It is a lot of fun. Other than that I am just nannying for my favorite 4 little boys and relaxing at home with my friends and family.  I can't wait. Hurry up winter break!

Group Presentation

On Tuesday my group did our presentation on FGM. I thought it went really well. We started off by talking about what FGM is and who we are. Than we moved into our media. We started off with the teenage population with the facebook page and the 1st part of the benefit concert. Than we talked about our older population with the postcards, second half of the benefit concert, flyer, and holiday cards. I think overall my group did a great job. We all did our part to contribute to the group. It was a good way to end the semester in english.

Progress Journal-4

December 1- 30 minutes

Tonight I worked more on my benefit concert poster/brochure. We decided to make it a much larger concert than originally planned. We also decided that it would be cool to have Oprah host it and have only female singers perform. On the brochure it has who is performing, a little bit about FGM, where the proceeds will go, and the location, date, and time of the concert. We present on Tuesday so my group is getting together to make the final decisions and figure out what we are going to talk about in our presentation.

Progress Journal-3

November 30- 1 hour

Last night I began working on my brochure for our project. I quickly decided to not do a brochure. Instead I decided to do a handout for a benefit concert that could take place to raise money and awareness for our organization. On it I included a little bit of information about FGM and what the purpose of raising money would be. I put a date, location, and time on it as well as a picture logo for FGM.
