I started off my weekend with volunteering at the Laton Lions Club with their first annual Crab Feed.  It honestly wasn't that bad, I enjoyed spending time with one of the other rodeo queen contestants.  I also have been working on my Leos Website most of the week in my English class. I mainly have been trying to come up with ways to direct the website to all audiences and add relevant information where it belongs. I had a meeting with Dr. Audet and we talked about setting deadlines and adding pictures to website.  He also gave me little tips and tricks to use on it to make it easier to read and draw attention to certain areas.  We also talked about certain things that the Life Project class could do at the end of the year to do volunteer work and also have fun while doing it.

Common Core Standards:

• SL 2- Initiate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media in order to make informed decisions and solve problems, evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source and noting any discrepancies among the data.

I can tie this standard in with what I'm doing because of when I'm working on my website I have to use different forms of media to answer the questions that I think people may have while looking at the Leos Website.

First week back! This week we finally got to meet with the two professors that Dr. Audet has been talking about all of last semester. They were pretty interesting, I'm not going to lie the meeting was extremely boring. Other than the meeting I have basically been working on the website that Dr. Audet has helped me create for the Leos Club. I have to add everything on my own, which involves research so I don't post anything wrong. The website and Facebook page aren't ready yet but when they are I will be posting the link so you will be able to look at it.

English Standards:

• RH 7-  Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media in order to address a question or solve a problem.
• WHST 5-  Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience.

I can use these standards mainly form making the website for the Leos Club. I have to research all over the internet for relevant information, so that any questions someone might ask can just look on our website or Facebook page and find the answer to their question. The last standard explains what I'm doing. I'm planning, revising, editing, rewriting, and trying different approaches. I'm trying to make my website for a general audience, obviously talking about the Leos Club.
