Here's our second brainstorm on the what and how of our presentation.

Notes from Combined HS English Class   

27.September.2011

Presentation Producers: Natalie, Megan, Leta, Ethan

Presentation Date: 20.October.2011, Waterman's Community Center

Topics included: Policy, History, Government, Environment, Sport/Recreation

    Logging Industry; Mills Re-Opening; Public v. Private; National Park Feasibility/Desirability; Dam Removal; Pollution; Canoeing; Camping

Zeb suggested: Four Boards w/ Four Basic Subjects plus Slide Show(s)

Courtney clarified purpose and history of presentation.

Leta explained earlier presentation work: Plum Creek Presentation--Debate; attended press conference, said it seemed they had weeks to work on it.

Courtney suggested everybody writes/creates work of art/documentation about one topic, whether it be historic or experiential.


Leta volunteered to compile the photos for a slide show.

Lee reminded everyone that the blog is a place for work and could be a place for what cannot fit in the presentation’s time frame.
