What I did this week was create a poster for the group which will now be called, Connected. The next step is to now collect the games and snacks that the group had before Monday.

What I did this week was review the data that I gathered from the survey that I sent out, as well as speak with my mentor about the group. We finalized a day and time to have the group. Now what I am working on is making a poster to send out to the Animas Quill and to print and put it around the school, to advertise a group to connect people together. I have devised a timeline for myself to keep on track-

This week I scheduled a meeting with my mentor, Erin, to discuss further on my group discussion and a day to have it on. Also, I completed the survey and talked with Ashley about sending it out to the student body. This week, I learned how to construct a google form to gather data and to present my project idea to the students of Animas. So far, I am on track! Why my plan is to do next is to, in the meeting with Erin, discuss a date for the group to happen on and collect a couple students to help facilitate the group sessions. Also, I need to talk with Erin about our meeting’s agenda. Sunday February 13th 2022
On Wednesday we received instructions on how to do our blog for our 20% project. I felt like I was unprepared on Wednesday to complete my blog post because honestly, I hadn't thought much about my project since doing the project proposal. On Wednesday, I decided I needed to try and talk to my mentor to help me figure out a plan. However, she was busy taking care of students and I didn't want to bother her. Instead, I decided that I should brainstorm a plan to present to her on another day. Welp, it's Sunday, and here I am brainstorming away! It seemed fitting to work on this today because tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I don't care much for Valentine's Day, but for some they do. It is a day that people may feel lonely and alone. The purpose of my project is to help people that are feeling lonely feel connected. Sadly, loneliness is an issue for people my age and the isolation from the pandemic hasn't made things easier. So... what am I going to do about it? I started by brainstorming ideas of how to start my project (see photo). I think my first action item needs to be creating a survey to see how students at Animas are feeling. The survey will include a question about how they feel about joining a lunch hour group to talk, socialize and connect with other students. My brainstorm also included things I need to do to market the group to students like posters about loneliness and communication. At the end of the year, I will take another survey from the students that came to the group on how they felt in the group and if the group helped with feelings of loneliness. My goal for the week is to make the survey and to distribute it to students. I also need to sit down with my mentor for some feedback on my timeline and project goals. |
