Describe the connection between your research (annotated bibliography) and your product.
- Since trash on beaches can't really be solved through mere technology, i'm
going to be researching the causes and effects on littering beaches and i'm also
going to find ways to volunteer my time and labor to try to make a positive impact on
the problem.
How will you display the entire process in in your digital portfolio?
- I am going to document my progress by taking pictures of what im doing and
also writing blogs about what i learn, see, and do in the process.
Estimate the number of hours needed to complete ALL of the items on your to do list (page
2) including your final product. You must document at least ten (10) fieldwork hours
outside of class.
- I hope to at least reach 10-12 hours outside of class to complete everything
on my check list.
Explain how you will document each and every step for completing your product (journal,
blog, video blog, etc.). This must be a documented (10 entries minimum) that will be
uploaded digitally. There will be checks on this throughout the process.
- I am going to document every step from my list by writting blogs and taking
pictures.
What do you hope to learn during this process? Remember that this is not a research
paper or project but an experience.
- I hope to learn about how much humans are actually harming this Earth. I am
aware of how badly it is treating but i hope to see it first hand, and I hope to learn
about ways that I can help reverse the problem.
How will this final product go outside of the realm of simply a benefit to you? How will
your knowledge, experience, creation, etc., benefit others?
- I hope to benefit the beaches, the animals, and the beach goers by making
their environment clean and safe.
