Power Point Presentation

So, Mondays class was a little interesting. My group had the topic of editing and revision, whats the difference? Well, we had to revise our whole powerpoint for todays class. We made changes to the structure, the grammar, and added numerous slides of examples of both editing and revision. Everyone in our group  has participated very well and added a lot of info for our powerpoint presentation. I hope we dont mess up on Wednesday!!

Updated project

After doing some observations of the pope hall study room, I have come to a conclusion that there is not much interaction at all. People go there to study and do work, which is what they do. They do not interact with one another or play music because its supposed to be quiet in that room. I have decided to observe the Tilly cafeteria instead. I went there after class today and noticed that people who go to lunch alone, tend to not look around. They just eat and stare straight ahead. Its kind of strange, because after noticing that, I realized I do it too. Tilly has a lot of students that I can observe for this project which is very helpful.

Jon Stewart

Considering I had 12 blogs going, haha here is my new POST on the same BLOG. Glad I know the difference now :)

So when I graduated highschool the valedictorian, Jason Vancura, gave a wonderful speech about friendships made, and memories that occurred, and events that everyone could relate to. His speech was cute, brought some tears to several students, and a few chuckles to many more, but overall it was a speech well done. O the contrary, I felt that Jon Stweart's commencement speech to the class of 2004 was just flat out sarcastic. I was not sure I should laugh or feel offended by his rude remarks and comments. If I was a student listening to the speech he had created, I would be very dissapointed.

Communities on campus

For this second project, I would like to observe the residents of Pope hall on the second floor. There is a prefect common room that looks into a quiet room that has four chairs. I wiould be able to sit in the common room and observe the students in the quiet room. See if they interact with other students in there or if they just keep to themselves.
