Last week Alyssa and I decided to to do our presentation on google slides that way we can both work on it at the same time and get more accomplished when we work on it. It is also so easier to work with and easier to get to, to work on it.
This week we are going to keep working on our presentation because we only have this week and next week then we present on that Wednesday. So, we are dedicating our time to our presentation because it has to be a certain length and we have to talk about it in a certain amount of time. We have a lot to get done in a short amount of time but we are not worried. Like I said last week our blogs are going to be kind of boring but stick with us to see the final project!

Last week Alyssa and I checked to see if anyone donated any cans and it turns out they did. We ended up taking the cans that we collected we took to the Storehouse for Jesus. As always they were extremely grateful. That was probably the last time we will be taking anything because we need to focus on our presentation.
This week we are going to try and set up our presentation and decide if we are going to do it on google slides, prezi, Canva or Powerpoint. Once we decide which one we are using we will set up the template so we can go ahead and get that started. My blog post may start to get a little boring for the last couple of weeks but stick around to see the final product. Stay tuned next week to see how our presentation is going! Last week Alyssa and I decided to just leave our posters up and start working on our presentation for the end of the project. We did a little research to get our presentation started so that we already have a little bit done. This way we can get a little bit done over time and are not scrambling to get everything done last minute and this way our project will be good.
This week we are going to check and see if anyone donated anything while we left the posters up and worked on our research. Depending on how much we get collected we will either take them to Storehouse for Jesus or we will wait to collect a little more then take them. If we collected like five, there is no point to take them to Storehouse for Jesus until we get more. We will keep you updated next week on how many we collected and if we took them to Storehouse for Jesus or not. Stay tuned! Alyssa and I collected cans and put up posters to collect more last week. Once we collected the cans we took them to the Storehouse for Jesus. Whenever we take cans to them they are always very thankful for it. They are very friendly. We hung up the posters in many different places to that we could get a variety of people donating.
This week Alyssa and I plan to just leave the posters up and start researching and preparing for out presentation that we are going to have to do at the end of the project. We will have to present the presentation in front of the class and talk about things we learned and things we did for the project. We want to be prepared and have good information that is why we are going ahead and preparing for it now. We are excited and nervous to do the presentation because neither one of use like talking or presenting in front of the class but I think since we will be up there together it will calm our nerves a little bit and we can just work together on telling the class the information. Stay tuned for next week to see how our research is coming along! Last week we had spring break so Alyssa and I took a break and did not do anything for our project because we did not have to and sometimes it is good to take a step back for a little bit. We did not touch the project or posters and we did not advertise so we really do not have anything to report beck to you for last week.
This week however, we are going to do what we planned to do last week before we knew we did not have to do it over our break. We are going to take our donations to the Storehouse for Jesus. We also plan to make more posters and place them in new places to gather more people to donate cans. The posters are going to be just as colorful as the ones before and they are going to say the same exact thing as the older ones. Alyssa and I hope to collect just as much or maybe more as before. We are sorry for not continuing last week but, we are jumping back in and getting back on track for the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned for next week to see how everything turned out! This week Alyssa and I started advertising again to do a little experiment. Last week we did not advertise and this week we did just to see which one collected more items. It turned out that advertising helped. Advertising did not blow not advertising out of the water but it did do slightly better. Next week we plan to take our donations to the Storehouse for Jesus like usual. Also next week we plan to create more posters like the ones we made before. They will be just as colorful so it drawls attention to the cause. We will end up putting these up in different places than before just to get more people to donate since advertising helps more than not advertising. Alyssa and I hope we can continue to collect so we can help more people than we have yet to do. Every little bit helps someone who does not have everything we have. Please feel free to donate! Stay tuned for next week! This week Alyssa and I counted up the amount of canned goods we collected last week without advertising. We ended up doing way better than we thought. We collected about 35 all together. That really shocked us because it was without advertising. We took all of the cans to the Storehouse for Jesus. They were very shocked that we collected that many without advertising.
Next week we plan to start back up with advertising and asking people if they wanted to donate again. We want to see if there is going to be more or less than without advertising.This is kind of an experiment for us to see how people react to it and how they feel about advertising. We are very curious to see which one gathered more cans. Some people do not like advertising and will donate without someone constantly bugging them about it. I hope you are just as curious about this as we are! Please stay tuned for next week to see the results! This week Alyssa and I decided to take a week off and see what would happen with our project. We put a box out under our posters just to see if anything would happen. We thought that there would be empty boxes when we went to look at them again but to our surprise, there was a good amount in each box. This shows that we did not need to talk about it for people to want to help.
Next week we plan to count up all of the goods we collected without advertising. Once we count up the amount we are going to take them to Storehouse for Jesus so they can give them to the homeless. Later on in this project we might volunteer at the Storehouse for Jesus just so we can help out a little more than we have so far. This shows that yes, advertising does help but sometimes if you just leave something alone and see what happens it might benefit you more. What we did this week actually surprised Alyssa and I more than we thought it would. We hope we can continue to collect and help out. Stay tuned for next week to see how we do! Last week Alyssa and I collected canned goods and took them to the Storehouse for Jesus. The people that worked there were very thankful for our donation. We talked a little about why we were doing it and they were very interested. We told them we were going to continue to collect and bring stuff in.
This week we are going to continue to collect and try to collect more than we did last week. We are going to make more posters and put them up in more places just to advertise a little more. We are going to try and put them in more places where there is a lot more people so it will catch their eye and they will be interested. Hopefully more people will want to donate like the last week. Maybe some will make it a weekly thing to donate at least one or two cans. Any amount helps and it's one more thing a homeless person can eat. I hope we are able to make a impact on their lives. Stay tuned for next week to see what is happening! This week Alyssa and I are collecting and distributing the items we have collected so far. We are going to take all of the items to the Storehouse for Jesus. We are going to take them at the end of this week so we have a little more time to collect some more. The Storehouse for Jesus take the items the community brings to them or they collect and they take them to the homeless.
Most people have been very willing to donate and show a lot of interest in helping the homeless. They like to hear why we are doing the project and like how we want to help people that do not have everything we have. The amount they brought ranged from 1-5 cans a person, which was very helpful. More people will probably start bringing in more as the project continues to grow. I am very excited to see how many more items we are going to collect. I also am excited to know we are making a difference, even if it isn't a big one yet. Stay tuned for next week to see what we are going to do next! |
