Thanksgiving & H2O Project

What are you thankful for this year?
I'm thankful for all of my family and friends (:

Things I will accomplish before Thanksgiving break is over:

1. Take pictures for e-mail
   
2. Have complete drafts of letters
3. Have significant progress on e-mail layout

So far, I've learned a lot from this project. I chose something that is close to my home and my heart, so it makes it easier for me to do the work because I really do want it to make a difference. I am discovering that I may have taken on more than I could handle in the beginning. I was going to partner up to make a video, as well as an e-mail. However, I figured out that would be very difficult to complete and I would rather focus all of my efforts on making my petition e-mail and have strong writing.

One thing that surprises me is how fast-paced this project seems to be. I thought that I had more time to work on it at school, but by losing a week for Thanksgiving break, I have less time than I had assumed before. But I plan on working really hard so that I can finish everything and have the highest-quality products possible.

Drafting will probably be the most important thing for me as far as writing goes. I will definitely need more drafts and more critiques on my letters. They are turning out to be more difficult to write than I had expected. I also need to quickly learn how to create the e-mail and what programs I'll need to use.
