I did a little extra work on the project over the weekend on Saturday because during our project time I've mainly been focusing on the reasearch for the lesson and not the actual castle it self. And since we're making the castle out of a cutting board I wanted to make sure that we know what we were going to be cutting. So on Saturday I spent about four hours drawing out some templates of what i was going to cut out. I had also gotten some cutting boards that we are going to use for the walls of the castle. And Jose is getting some pvc pipe for the towers.

Today was a good working day for me because I had gotten a lot accomplished while reasearching midievil southern european religon. I had only gotten about a page of notes down but I think I did get a better understanding of religon in midievil southern Europe. This morrning I had also brought a fish tank in that is the perfect size for what we want to do. Plus it only cost ten dollars! We also decided what we were going to make our castle out of and how we are going to add a special effect to it to make it look even cooler. First we're going to make the castle out of plastic cutting boared and I will cutt the board with a skill saw this weekend to the right shapes. The towers of the castle are going to be made of white pvc pipe. And to make our white castle look super fly we're going to have a black light above it to make it glow a bright, gleaming, floresent color that the fish will love by the way. Speaking of fish Jose and I decided that guppies would be a borring fish so we changed our fish an eal because they look awsome!!!!!!

What I did on wednesday was the crocadile HUNTER skit and I was the crocadile hunter! But before the skit we really had to figure out what we were going to do and how we were going to put everyones information in it. I thought of the idea of having someone pull fish out of the water and having the fish talk about the information, and the group seemed to like it so we did it. Also I had the best crocadile hunter accent so they decicided that I be the crock hunter. While doing the skit I tried to make it so the class was really watching and undrestanding what we were even doing up there. So I had repeated some of the main information that the class needed to know so that they would remember it. I think our skit came great and I think that I let out all of the information that needed to be said about fish.

On tuesday my group and I had some problems on deciding what to do for the skit. So we decided to break into two smaller groups temorarly and one of the groups would cover half of the material in one skit and the other group would cover the other stuff in theirs. In my smaller group we decided to divide the information up and we would each talk about some certain facts. Yesterday we figured out what we were going to do for the skit and how we could put the most information in it. In our smaller group everyone is getting along great together but in the bigger group I think that we still have a few things to work out. So far the entire project has all been really fun and I feel that I am learning a lot about fish and the ocean.Everyone in the Department has been working really hard and studying as much as they can about fish. For this assighnment I beleive that I am taking charge and sort of acting like a project manager because no one else has really stepped up in taking control.

What ive done so far in the zoomanities project this week.

so far this week iv really explored what my animal is and what it does. like when i was making the feild notes on boney fish i found out so much about my type of animal that i didnt know before. i found so much information on fish that instead of making one page of notes i made about two pages. then the next day i found out that we needed to condense our infor mation to a couple peices and i did that with minimal difficulty but it wasnt over we then had to condense that information to about two main peices of stuff so i did and i beleive i had taken out the correct stuff.
