For Friday January 3rd, we were mainly just looking over our final product and making sure that we didn't have anything in there that shouldn't be in there, and we were also trying to make ever bullet shorter so that people aren't just paying attention to our slideshow they are also watching/listening to us. Also we were trying to memorize what the slideshow said so that we don't always have to look up at the projector, because that makes us look like we don't know what we are doing, so the more eye contact we make with the audience the more professional we will look. We are also needing to make our commercial explaining more of what we are doing and to make our presentation a little more interesting because people don't just want to go listen to someone talk for 5 min they want to at least be entertained.

For Friday December 19th we finally finished both our final presentation slideshow and our skit for our commercial. We also decided that we will be video taping our video on Saturday December 21st. We feel very confident on our final presentation, but we are worried about how we have to finish the presentation in a 30 second range from 5 minutes. This might be the last blog before we present it.

For Friday December 13th we finished up our final presentation, and we also were discussing when we were going to do the video. We decided that we were going to do it on Saturday at the beginning of Winter break. We also have our script finished thanks to one of the guys in my group did it all on his own and we all thought it was a pretty good script. We all worked together to bring in our research to make one of the best slideshows EVER! Enjoy this happy looking dolphin because it like all the work we put into this project to save him.

For Friday December 6th we were discussing what we were going to do for our video we are going to do for the project, and we want it to be humorous so that more people will want to watch the video. Also we were going to make the video about how people shouldn't pollute in the water, or anywhere. We also added a slide to the final product about Aluminum and how it effects the wildlife, but we researched a lot and could not find one person who experimented on the effects of aluminum in the ocean so we don't know how it would effect the ocean and the wildlife that live in it.

For Friday November 22, we were updating our final presentation, we added more about how plastic can effect the ocean and we learned more about how plastic can affect the ocean wildlife. We also thought of a good hook for the presentation for people to be more interested in what we are talking about. We also learned about a guy in Chiba, Japan that has done a lot of research on our topic and we have found him to be a big help to our presentation and we will also try to put at the end how much help he was to us researching on our topic.

For Friday November 15, we were making our updated presentation for our Leadership class we made a little bit of a slideshow and we were also starting on our script for a video of us picking up trash and one of are group members thought it would be funny for the class to make us fight in the video because one of us threw a piece of trash in the ocean. We are also working a little bit on our final presentation for the end of the semester. We have worked hard the presentation because it will be our final grade of the year, so we are hoping that we are getting enough research to get us an A.

For Friday November 8th Houston and Hadon were in charge of researching information about Cigarettes, Plastic, and Food Wrappers and how they affected the Marine Wildlife. They would look up each thing and then I typed it on the Slide Show we are doing for our final presentation. We also made a pie chart of the top 10 most common trash found on the beach and we put them in order from the most common to least common (Shown below). We are also about to start to make our video of us picking up trash. We learned that sometimes when a plastic bag is in the Ocean it sometimes looks like a Jellyfish, a sea turtles favorite food. When the sea turtle eats it, it will choke and sometimes die.
