This week I thought a lot about my inquiry project and the mini projects we have to do. I had a idea of what I wanted to do but I wasn't really sure about it after a meeting that I had with Lacy and looking at sources, and spending the weekend with my family it helped give me a greater understanding of the project and it inspired me. I want to talk about the representation of a strong woman and the idea of what a strong woman is because my family is full of strong women. I'm not finished with my found poem poem but I hope it turns out really good.

This week we met with the high school students from forest view. While we met with them we talked about college readiness and participated in activities. My favorite activity was when we drew how we see a list of things and write in our day book about what we noticed in some of the pictures, I thought it was really funny how some student viewed college. Someone drew a picture of of a beer keg liked they see it as a place to party all of the time. I feel like if that person comes to college then they will see what college is really like, it may be fun but its also a lot of hard work. There is a lot more to life than partying, but overall I really enjoyed talking to the students and I wish we could do another activity with them.

This week in class we talked about what we were going to be working on for the rest of the semester, which is our inquiry projects. At first I was like I really don't want to do this, I sat there like I have no idea what I wanted to do my project on or how I was going to do it. As Lacy continued to talk about it, I started to like it. It seems like it would be fun working on it because I get to do what we want. We were told to divide our paper into four squares and write down things we read or went over in class and I decided to talk about representation  I look forward to starting this project and talking more about it in class.
