We spent the whole day preparing our presentation. I brought all the material, and then we all did our own parts. I worked on looking up pictures, and looking of facts on what exactly could go on our game board. We all worked on separate parts and then were able to put everything together. I felt like we all contributed nicely. Of course there were so many parts of the project that went wrong, from the printer not working, to forgetting to make $20 dollar bills for our board game. Everything that could possibly go wrong did wrong. Luckily we figured everything out and are hoping that everything will run smoothly!

Buying More Supplies
12-4-09 4.5 hours
Progress Journal
This weekend, I went to the store to get some of the finishing touches for our project. Our project with these new materials I believe that it will put a good image for our project. We decided to make the game board of course, but now decided after thinking about it, that we should make a power point sideshow rather than making brochure type handouts. We think by creating a power point/ slide show it will be easier to incorporate our media, which we decided will be a commercial for a radio. We think by doing this, and incorporating the fact that November was smoking awareness month that it will be a great way of getting the parents and teachers in the community involved. By involving the parents and teachers instead of giving the children the brochure that they are more then likely going to throw away after being presented to them.I think that this is a great way to finish up our project, and I think that all the progress that has been made thus far is successful. I also think after meeting with our peers that we were given a better idea of what to expect. I'm nervous for Tuesday!

Group Project Smoking
12-3-09 2 hours
Progress Journal
Our group project is running along smoothly, we have collected the supplies that we will need to complete our game board. But still are unsure of what the game pieces will look like. We are planning on actually playing the game LIFE so we can get a better idea of how to set up our game. We think by playing the game it will refresh our memories, because sadly Ashley Brinker is the only one of us who can really remember how to play, and what the object of the game really is. We of course are making a different point or object of the game, but we are sticking to a similar layout to the game. I think that we have all been giving our ideas to the group and working well as a team. I do hope that it all pays off in the end, considering how much this will effect our grade. We still have a lot to go, but I think that it will end up being successful, if we keep putting our creative heads together.

Smoking Group Topic
12-3-09 1 hour
Progress Journal
We decided on choosing my topic, the smoking topic for our group project. We are creating a game similar to the game "life." We are targeting children from ages 9-12. We choose this audience because they aren't to young but they are old enough to understand the problem and become aware of what needs to go on to fix the problem. We are collecting all of our information and facts before beginning on how to put the game together. That way we won't have to redo the game board or pieces along the way.

Topic
11-17-09 30 minutes
I think now after some thinking that we have came up with our group project topic. We are using my smoking bans topic from my paper. I was a little nervous at first when we choose to use this topic because it truly was a hard topic for me to find enough information for such a large paper. I tried the best I could, but since the smoking ban in France had just been introduced last year there wasn't too much said about it, which I kind of thought was a surprise. I think that the plan that we have is a great one, and very easy to just run with!

Group Project
11-15-09 45 minutes
Progress Journal
For our group project we are having a hard time deciding on what the topic should be. We have two great ideas, but are unsure what or who the audiences would be for either topic, and since that is a huge part of the grade for this project it makes it a huge decision. We are planning to meet and discuss what our topic should be and prepare our proposal. After that I'm sure things will fall right into place.

Secondhand Smoking in France
Secondhand smoking is something that is killing people everyday, innocent people. France is a country who is rejecting laws that are given to them. They don't believe in taking from there culture to help the people standing by. They disregard the rules to better there culture and society. They want to help themselves before helping other citizens. Secondhand smoke is an international topic that gives you a bunch of questions. You prepare yourself for what you are facing in your country or even city. The secondhand smoke issues vary from place to place, that is why it is such an international topic. I think that with France there needs to be a compromise with smoking laws and with the culture of the country.
