The Past Two Weeks: Presentation Group

The presentation group has been working hard to compile a powerpoint and a compelling presentation to deliver to the class. They have met several times and have been collecting pictures and graphics to use on the display.
On Wednesday, October 15, they met to discuss the presentation itself. They decided it would be creative to set up a mock tailgate with recyclable items, food, and more. Also, for the one page handout, the presentation group decided that each member of the group would buy a 12 pack of canned drinks. Before the presentation, we would tape our handout to them on recycled paper and give a can to each member of our class. The can would have a fact about how recycling one can has such a huge impact (we are currently looking for information so we can list just how big of an impact recycling one can makes, or maybe how big of an impact it would make if each person in the class recycled their can). The paper will also describe what Trashcot Mascot is and give our website and group number. The presentation group pitched this idea to the rest of the group at the next in-class group meeting, and everyone loved it. We all decided to buy our own cans and print out the text for each can on our own. Each person will be responsible for bringing 12 cans with the handout already taped to it on November 19.
On Monday, October 20, during the in-class meeting, the presentation group made the Trashcot Mascot promotional video outside of the SLC (aka the MLC). Kaitlin and Stephanie worked all week to get shots of athletes to put in the video. Blakely finalized the video: editing, cutting, and making the video run smoothly and in an interesting way.
On Wednesday October 29, the presentation group met and began building the powerpoint. They used the information they had compiled in response to Dr. Shamp's questions as the backbone of the presentation. After actually working with the powerpoint, they were able to pinpoint certain areas of research that were still missing. They forwarded these questions (which were mostly financial and sponsor questions) to the research group, who completed the research that next Monday.

In the class meeting today, after spending time analyzing what was needed for the Web site, the presentation group was left in charge of developing text for the home page that will give readers more information about our program.
