this week in English we mainly focused on creating our two pieces of rhetoric for our NPO's. I decided to design a poster and a koozie. I still haw a lot of work to do with the two pieces I created. I got some good feedback from my partner when we did peer editing. I decided to change my poster into a t-shirt design. I also got some more research done and have a better idea of what I am going to write my persuasive essay on. although there are still a lot of thing that I need to find out a lot of the basic questions I ha about childhood cancer have been answered. We only have a few weeks left to finish our project and so far so good!

This week we focused on creating our two pieces of rhetoric for our NPO. I am working with the Levine Children's Hospital and I am going to try and promote awareness about childhood cancer. I am very excited that my NPO got back with me and I am looking forward to working with them. In class we got into groups that have similar social issues and shared our ideas with each other. I am thinking about making posters and possibly koozies to promote my issue. I think that koozies would be a good way to promote my issue to college students because they can use them when they are at parties and people can see them. I have not decided what I am going to be putting on either the koozies or the posters. I am going to do something bold and to the point. I want to draw people's attention as best and as fast as possible. I know that college students are always on the go and do not always have the time to stop and read long passages. That is why I need to find a way to draw peoples attentions. I have done a decent amount of research so far about childhood cancer and have a good idea of what I am going to do. Getting into groups during class definitely helped me think of better ideas and ways to go about creating my two pieces of rhetoric.
