Second Interview

So the first woman that I asked to interview was not able to do it right away, so I got to interview her sister. They are both stay at home moms and they both lead busy lives. I didn't get a response to all of the questions yet, but the answers that I do have are going to be very useful to my. I am able to pull out quotes and use them because she is the one that wrote them. I hope it turns out well.

Over the Break

Over the break I hope to be blogging some more because I will be working over the break and I hope to get some of my documentary done. When I am working on that I plan on blogging as I go so that I can keep up with everything.

Portfolio

We are working on our proposals today in class. We have about two hours to finish them. I hope to get them done today, but if not, then I will be working at home more than I would like to on this.

Today

Today we are going to be working on the final portfolio of all of our information and our proposals. I have been looking at how many blogs I have done and it doesn't seem like I have many, but I guess all of them sum up what I have done on a certain project. On projects that I have worked on for about three or four days, I would only do one blog for them. Otherwise it would get too repetitive. I hope this doesn't affect my overall grade.

Editing Proposal

Yesterday I worked on my edits for my proposal. I looked over Brittany's and Ashley's, and then had them both look mine over. They both said that they didn't have anything to say about it. I'm guessing because I had Mrs. Fossum look at it before anyone else.

We also got introduced to how we will be putting our entire portfolio together. I think I have a good idea as to how I am going to word everything and put it all together. I plan on doing that today. Well, bye for now.

Proposal

I finished my proposal today. I actually never started it until this morning, but I focused on it very intently and worked until it was finished. I had Mrs. Fossum look at it and she said that it was very good. I just need to have a peer edit it now. Then all I have to do next week is put all of my work together into a portfolio. I will have a nice, easy week next week.

Action Plan

I just noticed that I never wrote about my Action Plan. So, I should do that real quick. I did my action plan to show how I will complete my grad project over the next year. I hope it is efficient enough.

Computer

Well I have to get a new hard drive tomorrow, so I didn't get to do much work in class today because I was over in Mr. Klanica's room. I hope to have everything done by the end of class on Friday. I'm sure I will, but I just want everything done right and turned in on time.

Library

Today I went to the library with Amber, Ashley, Brittany, and Jasmine to return my books. They were renewed too many times to get them renewed again. But we went there, some got them renewed, some returned them. It was a fun 20 minute trip.

Conducting the Interview

On Friday when Mrs. Fossum was out of the class room, I conducted my interview with one of the working moms. She works downtown, so it was easy for me to get to her. I asked her about 10 questions and she gave me very good answers, but when I was all finished, she gave me a few more questions to add to my list and gave me the answers to them as well. I feel that the interview went very well and I plan on keeping in touch with her so that I can use her as one of the people to interview for my documentary in the end.

Sending the Interview

So I sent the interview questions to the stay-at-home mom that I found. She replied with a very kind response. She said that she would be happy to fill out the questions and send them back to me. Honestly, I think that sending the questions to the person and having them fill them out is better. That way you get the direct quotes from the person and you don't have to remember what they said a year ago, because you have exactly what they said.

Outline

I finished my outline. I am very proud of it I have to say. For not getting started on it for so late, and having it done before anyone else, I must say it was good. Detailed, I might add, and long. When I had Mrs. Fossum look at it she noticed that the only major problem was the organization. In the end, my outline went from being, I believe five sections, down to two sections. I thought that seemed a little short, but Mrs. Fossum assured me that it would be the best way to get started with my paper. When I fixed the problems, I really began to notice what she was talking about. It really did look like it could turn into a very detailed paper that would really help strengthen my project.

Behind

I know I am behind again. I keep forgetting that I have to blog everyday at the end of class. So again, I will be doing a blog for everything that I have done everyday since my last blog till now.
