Week of October 13th-17th

The presentation group met after class on Friday to take pictures.
Claire Rock sent out an email on behalf of the presentation group outlining what they discussed and what they needed from the other groups. They had discussed the questions that Dr. Shamp posted on the powerpoint, and Claire typed up the answers the presentation group came up with.

The research group was asked to call ESPN, UGA Athletics and other associations to talk about funding and ask if they would sponsor a program like ours. They were also asked to research other costs and where to get equipment.
Both the research and website groups were asked to take at least five pictures at the UGA Homecoming game of people recycling in creative ways. These pictures will go on the webpage and in the presentation to give people an idea of the types of pictures we are asking for in our competition.

We have an in-class meeting on Monday, and each group has various duties.
The research group was asked to go ahead and start researching the information stated above so the entire group can start discussion Monday.
The website group was asked to bring a laptop so the rest of the group can see how the site is progressing so far and can make suggestions.
The presentation group was told to wear green so they can make the video.

Other dates that have been set:
Sunday, October 26th: the presentation group is going to meet at Jittery Joe's in the SLC at 2 p.m. to begin working on the powerpoint.
Monday, October 27th: the research group needs to be finished with figuring out all of the costs.

Week of October 6th - 12th

The research group has compiled a bunch of data on recycling, and has passed the information along to the other groups so they can start working on their portion.

The presentation group met on Wednesday at 5:00 at Jittery Joes. They wanted to take pictures at this time to put on the website and the powerpoint, but it was raining all day. Instead, they discussed the questions Dr. Shamp posted on his powerpoint in class and began prepping themselves and each other for the presentation. They also discussed their plans for the future.

The website group is working on a general outline for the website. They now have some more information to go by since the research group has posted info. They are waiting for more pictures to come in so they can really figure out the design of the site. Several group members have already been taking photographs, and the website group is asking for anyone who has anything to contribute to please email them in.

We have been working in our individual groups a lot and will meet back up on October 20th during class to discuss how far we've come and what still lays before us.

Week of Sept 29th

Our group met on September 29th and discussed each group's progress.
The presentation group had composed a short film over the weekend at the Georgia/Alabama game. It featured students and fans recylcing and talking about how important it is. The presentation group showed it to the rest of the group, and everyone was very happy with it. Some of us were able to get pictures while tailgating, and the website group asked us to send them the pictures so they could begin designing pages.

The Website group had already started the main layout of the site, but can't do much more until the research is in.

The research group met on Sept 16th at Jittery Joe's at the SLC. Members of the group have also been doing research on their own for the past couple of weeks. We decided that the reseach should be in by Monday, October 6th. We are all emailing it to Geneva Whitmore, who will condense it to a shorter document for the presentation and website groups.

We hope to be able to start work on the website and presentation by the next scheduled group meeting in class on October 20th.

Aug 8-Sept 18th

On Aug 27th, our group met for the first time. We discussed possible topics and talked about each of our suggestions. Claire Rock made a Facebook group for us to communicate on. Throughout that week, members posted their ideas and commented on suggestions they liked or felt weren’t feasible. On the wall, we were able to narrow down the best three or four topics.

On Sept 8th our group met in class again. We discussed what had been posted to the Facebook wall and were able to find a topic we all agreed on. We tried to get it as specific as possible while in class, and decided to research the subject more on our own and discuss it over the Facebook wall.

On Sept 19th We divided our group into mini groups: presentation, website, and research. The research team was charged with coming up with pertinent info and compiling it for our presentation and website groups. The website group planned to get a general outline made up so it would be ready once the information was ready. The presentation group discussed what should be included in the presentation. One thing suggested was a short film showing people at Georgia tailgates recycling and talking about the importance of recycling. We also decided that we would all try to take pictures at the next tailgate (Alabama) so we could use these pictures on the website. We also decided to create an official blog to supplement the Facebook wall.
