Progress+Reports

During the past weeks i have have completed gathering my sources; such as my books and websites. I Found a great website called Avert, it gives me a lot of information on aids and many satistics. It also provided me with information about teaching Aids at school which is a big part of my progect, i statred higlighting and collecting information from that article. I talked to the theather and band teachers about schedualing my fundraiser, after discussing it with them i got my applicantion for use of the building and is currently filling it out. After i hand in the application and if i get it approved i will start searching for talent and organizing the show, which is one of my goals before the next progress report. I have thought of a new goal which i have discussed with Mr.Hackney about handing out a survey with questions about aids and finding out how much the students of springfield know. My goal before the next progress report is to get that handed out. I would like to research more and get information about the epedmic in Africa so that when i start to write my paper i can campare USA to Africa, and how if not everyone becomes aware to what they need to know we could have an epedimic. In the last weeks my mentor has be keeping me on track giving me more and more ideas for my talent show and my paper. She is going to help me write my quiz and hand it out to the diffrent homerooms. When the time comes she wil be helping hang up flyers in different schools searching for talent to perform.

Progress Reports #2 Alexandrea Allen Since the first progress report I gathered all my information and started to pick out all the facts that will help me support my thesis statement. I gathered more information on the teaching education in schools, so that I could get more of an insight on how people feel about the topic, and what is being done in different schools. After gathering my information I started working on the quiz that I will be handing out to the 11th and 12th graders. I started thinking of questions I can use to see how much teenagers truly know about Aids. I wanted to have my flyers to be completed but I didn’t have the time to complete it. I am wishing to have them done by the end of the week. The three goals I would like to accomplish before the next progress reports is having my quiz done and handed out to the 11th and 12th graders before the paper so that I can be able to included how much or how little they know about AIDS. I want to have my flyers for auditions for my fundraiser done and posted up at Springfield and other local schools. I would also like to construct and outline that has my main topics and supporting facts. I wanted to create this so I have everything organized for when I’m ready to write my paper. My topic expert has helped me with my facts and has giving me a lot of facts and information that relates to my thesis statement. My mentor gave me ideas about what should be on my quiz; she also gives me ideas for the fundraiser. Another person that helped me in these past weeks is Eshe she offered to help me with my flyers because she goes to tech. for commercial arts. She can make them really nice. I have asked all these people for there option and advice in different topics on my issue.

I completed my rough draft, also i complete my quiz to get handed out to the students now all i have to do is make an email to send out to all the teachers, letting them know why the students are taking these quizes and what they should tell them. Also i have been thinking a lot about my project i have thought about something i want to and what would be appropriate. I have been thinking about still having a fundraiser but instead of like a show have AIDS Awareness day where i try to get as many people to wear red. I will hang facts all over the school and try to get people to donate money during lunch. I will have to discuss that more with my mentor and my teacher to see what ideas i can get out of that. i want to have improved and completed my paper and know that i am going to have a good grade. i also want to have a set idea on what i wan tmy project to be and start to get it started. i want to hand in all my papers and assignments on time and make sure i get the best grade i can get in this class. I belive both my topic export and my mentor have been helping me a lot. i think my mentor will be a big help when it comes to my project. she will help me set up and promote the whole thing. My mentor will help me more with my final paper to add in more imformation.
