This week we have been focusing solely on our snowfall projects. The snowfall project is essentially a project to create a multimodal presentation website that answered an important question. You then used a book to reference that question. Overall I thought it was a good project, I think my group just procrastinated a bit and we had quite a few days where people were gone. Our question of "How does perceived purpose affect our outlook" was a pretty easy one to answer: motivation. This came to us pretty easily as the book "Siddhartha" was full of examples and explanation. I think this project helped us learn how to put many elements onto a story, rather than just writing it. We got to mess with coding to make everything look different, and we got to put pictures in and many other things. I think allowing us to have that much creativity really gave us the opportunity to fully express ourselves and get our points across.
I think our group had a difficult start and didn't communicate all that well, so we ended up leaving a lot of work to be done in last few days. This resulted in us rushing a bit and we may have left a few things out as a result. This all could have been fixed by us just taking initiative to get things done before and during spring break, but senioritis makes that very difficult at times. I hope Schoenborn understands how we all feel. It's not that we don't care about what he is presenting us, it's that it can be difficult to give one hundred percent effort when the grade doesn't matter as much anymore and we have so many other things on our minds. That's not an excuse, but that goes through a lof of our heads as the days go on. The stress of leaving and getting everything ready to go is weighing on me and has been a lot lately.
