Work week blog May 6th

During the past week we have been working really hard to catch up to other people and some of that work includes doing mathematical calculations on what produces how much methane each animal produces and how factory's are working to produce methane. We are also deciding on what dishes we should place into our recipe book. So far we have decided on making an edamame recipe and we have also decided on making a cheese ball recipe for the appetizers. We will also be making a banana smoothie with out ice cream or any other dairy products. One other thing that we have decided upon is publishing our book on lulu. We think that lulu is very inexpensive and a good printing source. I personally like our project and am enjoying working on it. One problem we are having is deciding alternatives because we don't know any other food items that are similar to edamame. We were thinking of using edamame as an alternative for potato chips. We are also thinking of just adding meat to our original dishes for example we were going to make a beef casserole instead of a tuna casserole. I am glad we switched projects from videos to cooking.

Work week reflection

Today in class we received feedback from two groups. We received feedback from both Coke and brooks, and Nicole. Brooks told us to utilize more space and to also use the titles and bary them in size and color. He said of the dish is spicy we can change the color to read and have a sort of color coding system to our project. I liked this idea and want to change it to this before we present to everyone at the year end marketplace. Brooks also gave our group a wonderful suggestion about making more use of space by showing the individualized graphs for each section because right now our graphs are all over the place. Sadly our next partner looked through our book and continued to attack the group next to us on their design. The only piece of feedback that she gave was to add more pictures. Chaz and I gave coal's group a lot of feedback regarding their poster. We thought that they should change the words to be a lot more accurate for example instead of saying CO2 emitted they could say CO2 emitted per year. I enjoyed listening to Kody's presentation and told him to make the objective a little bit clearer.
