Group Project

 This week we had to present a group project. Even though we had all the write information and were ready to go I was still nervous. I am always nervous about group presentations. I just hate being in front of people looking at me I guess. But I mean don't we all get like that at least once in our life. Anyways this weeks blog post was about writing and how we thought we changed a little bit for the project. For most of the project I looked up information on the past of WIC. Some of it I found quite interesting. Especially realizing that it is not as old as I thought. 

    In the memo we got to explain the challenges and everything that kind of got in the way. I think one challenge for me was trying to find the history of WIC and making sure it was right. I mean it is hard to tell what on the internet is true or not. I had to make sure that WIC actually approved of the history. Another challenge was trying to incorporate it into the presentation. Now I did not read out all the history of WIC. If I did I would bore the whole class. That is why I only did some key or important points like the salary and who made up the system in the first place. 

    Now writing the memo was a little bit trickier. You had to be more formal when writing it. You could not write it like you were writing to one of your friends in a text message. Plus explaining really did help in the long run. I think students should be taught to write in many different ways especially now. We can text now and there is slang. Students will start to use slang when writing but for a job you can not really do that. Especially if you are writing to your boss. So what I learned is that we all need to come out of our comfort zone once in awhile and write differently. Sometimes that means to write more formally.
