Wow bloggers! Look how far we've come. Spring break is over and it's time to get back in the school mode. It's been tough for me to readjust back into the school mode. So without further adieu I'll discuss what weeks 9 and 10 have entailed.
Weeks 9:
Throughout week 9, we began talking about our upcoming advocacy project we will be working on through the remainder of the year. I found this a great opportunity for us to research our environment in order to demonstrate what we've learned. We also learned about the ethics of photography which I thought were interesting. I never think about angles and the rules of 3 while I take pictures.
We were also assigned to research our political representatives. I am actually glad we got this assignment otherwise I would not know this important information. I think that by knowing these people, it will push us to contact them with our concerns about environmental issues.
Week 10:
Since Dr. V has been gone this week, we've been responsible for working on our photo essay. I initially wanted to do my project on the neighborhood streets and offer alternatives, but the snow storm made that hard to achieve. I got a few pictures of my neighborhood and also showing items within my house that would cut down on electrical usage. I offered suggestions such as unplugging appliances when not using them, charging batteries rather than disposing and buying new ones, and using reusable containers instead of throwing them away. I also offered the suggestion of buying reusable bags to carry groceries or anything else in.
I've found that the past couple weeks have been very informative and eye opening.

Hey Christen!
Thank you for the nice comment you left on my photo essay. I agree, it was really hard to get into the swing of things for school right after spring break!!
Good reflection!!

Ugh, it was sooo hard to get back into the details of daily life after spring break, it was nice to have a week to ease back into it with Dr. V gone! I didn't know most of our political representatives either, which makes me feel kind of silly, being that I live here, so I was glad to be able to find them all!
Christen,
Getting back into the swing of things was tough...but I'm glad for the break because my computer was down=) Good reflection and great photo essay last week, keep up the good work!
Christen-
I thought it was interesting to hear about the ethics as well, but I knew most of them because I was in a yearbook/journalism class in high school and we did a lot of focusing on that! I;m glad to hear that you got something out of it tho!! It was really hard for me to get into the swing of things after spring break as well!! :)
