April 30th

Today we wrote a list of interest and went through them to find somethings they all had in common to get a good idea of a subject to do our graduation project on. Based on my list I came up with four ideas for my graduation project that I would like to do.

  1. Genocide in Darfur- not sure exactly what my action plan would be yet
  2. How people are treated based on looks- find out how different groups of people are treated in local places (ex. goth, prep, nerd....ect.). I would do interviews with people who consider them selves members of each group and the stereo types they encounter. My action project would be a documentary
  3. Write a kids book- I would write and illustrate a children's book for kids and get it binded and copied. I would sell copies of the book and raise money, then for my action project I would go and read the book at children's hospital and donate the money.
  4. Outdoor Activity Day for kids- Research about kids and obesity and long term affect. For my project I would organize a day filled with kid actives out doors were there were races, contest, and lots of fun that get kids out of the house and outdoor playing getting in shape and maybe have this happen every weekend in August.

Im not really sure which one I want to do yet but I like all four ideas and from coming having no ideas at the beginning of class that is a good improvement
