EP+Status+1

a. I am currently adding details and tweaking my layout. I worked on transferring documents over to GoogleDocs, Adobe (pdf versions that I can publish on the site), and CED Video. My multi-genre project had to be an attachment because of formatting issues. I am becoming frustrated with the Google Site because it does not maintain my formatting and it seems harder to convert and add things.

b. I have added a World Connection category. In this, I have put a paper I wrote on the Role of Man and Deforestation in Literature and my final paper on developmental theorists and theories seen in my swagger portrait. I still need to digitize my swagger portrait (once Dr. Beal finds it). I am toying around with a political/policies category. Not sure what I will do with that.

c. I started with the theme of tree roots, growth, and stability, but there were no quotes that jived with what I wanted. So then, I had one of those revelation moments! I have the vision of teaching at lower-achieving schools. These kids at these schools need hope. Thus, the idea of hope in a desert came to mind. So I found a flower blooming in a desert landscape and that became my focus. Finding “free” images is a pain, since most are not that awesome. But, luckily I found some that worked really well. Then, I went on the hunt for a quote related to hope growing in the desert. Out of the blue, the C.S. Lewis quote popped up on a website. A) C.S. Lewis is an extremely wise man (in my opinion), and B) the quote was dealing with education. It was meant to be. I am a little sad that there is very little green in my theme because that’s my favorite color, but I think it’s going to be good. I’m excited about my theme, at least. So if nothing else works, I have a baller theme. Ha.
