self evaluations (daisy flores) 9/9-12/2

9/9
I  give myself an eight for the week. For the reason being that i did my half which is researching about our subject for most of the period. I spoke to the secretary in the office and she gave me the number tothe hisd food industry. We plan on contacting them to speak about the future changes to our school lunch. Such as adding a salad bar .


9/16
For this week i give myself an eight as well. I found one of the two books that we needed for our capstone. while we interviewed the manager in the cafeteria i wrote down some important information. unfortunately today i had to go to the doctor and missed a class period thus making me behind in our research. I will however make everything up the rest of the week.

9/23
I give myself a nine.I typed our partner contract and added some more to it like that we would both respect each other .We went to the library to continue our research in a quiet place. France has a very nutritious meal compared to us. When the students are served pizza  their side order is a salad with grapefruit and water. While as in the U.S when we are served pizza it is accompanied by french fries,a brownie,an apple and milk.

9/28
I give my self a nine.We combined our research together and created a rough draft of our outline. We decided to split the work. She will do four paragraphs  while i do the other four. Im going to type about how it is global, changes being made, changes trying to apply, risks that could happen if this does not change. We did this so that we follow our partner contract(contract states that we do equal work) and the paper is finished faster.

10/7
i give myself an eight. After we decided who is writing what in the research paper we started writing the outline. I typed it out afterwards and added a few helpful in formation in the paragraph that  was assign for me and corrected a few grammar mistakes. I've started typing on the first paragraph that was assign to me.
It is about how it is global. The cafeteria food is not the same in every country some don't even have a lunch program. Such as Mexico, they allow their students to leave the campus to go home and eat a home cook meal.

10/14
i give myself a 9. Genesis and I started right away with our rough draft after we completed our outline.Thanks to our outline it became easier to work. Since we spilt the essay it also made it easier. I found a website that helped a better understanding of what is a healthy school lunch. the website is www.choosemyplate.gov.  Apparently our school doesn't meet those requirements. they either don't offer not enough vegetables or grains.

10/21
I give myself a 9 for this week. We organized our binder and i must say looks nice. We also cited our work since we had forgotten that in our research paper. I spoke to you this week on ideas for our project. Thank you so much . We are going to make flyers that say information on salad bars to influence people to donate money so HISD can receive salad bars. We plan on posting these flyers in restaurants that have a salad bars such as cici's.

10/27
I give myself a nine this week.We both corrected our research paper by fixing some spelling  mistakes and adding some extra information. I worked on the MLA citation for our research paper. I had to  re- learn how do to one since I forgot how,but it went pretty well . Genesis spoke with Mr. Khalil and he gave us a great idea to speak with the HISD board member. Hopefully we can contact her and change the school lunches for the better.

11/4
I give myself an eight this week. We started to make  a poster to raise awareness. We plan on making at least three. We are also planing on making some fundraising to donate to the salad bar company.Since we dont think people will be willing to donate money themselves.

11/11
I give myself a 8.5 this week. We began to take pictures of the food the school provides us. We actually received pizza the whole week. The whole week! This really made me concern on the food they provide us with. Our friend actually received a burned burger! Every picture we took is gross. We plan on posting these pictures on our blog.


11/18
I give myself a 9 this week. We felt that pictures isn't enough to show our audience how gross the food the school serve us is.So we decided to make a video where we  interview  students. We would ask these students on their thoughts about the food. We were lucky enough to interview a teacher . We also plan on posting this video on our blog.


12/2
This week i give myself a 9 . We spent the whole week preparing for capstone night. We did extra research so that we can answer any question our audience asks us. We did our best on posting allot of visual on our tri fold board. Unfortunantly we could only get one picture of the actual food we receive at school. Capstone night was long an intense but overall  it was an awesome experience.
