Final Project(Bryn)

My group and I are getting ready to go on a walkabout for our final project. We have decided to build our project around the question, "How have the torn down buildings impacted Sugarhouse and the surrounding area?" We have each come up with at least two interview questions so that we may interview pedestrians on our walkabout. This will be an important part of our entire project, influencing our map, presentation, and individual papers.

I am interested to analyze Sugarhouse more in depth. I have passed through paying little to no attention to features of the community or atmosphere. The walkabout will enable my group and I to choose stand-out landmarks for our maps and watch peoples' interaction with the area.

Remembering we are to build a layered map about this area, we must consider the basic structure of roads and buildings, landscaping, special features, people, and much more. We plan to be very creative with our map, including colors and possibly even texture. I am excited to witness our final piece! Once we have completed the map, we must move on to our presentation. This is an integral part of the project, and we want to portray knowledge and confidence in ourselves and our insight about Sugarhouse. While working on these steps of the project, we will all be doing our own individual papers as well.

As far as the paper is concerned, I'm a bit confused...Do we all write on the same topic: Sugarhouse? Or do we each choose different aspects of Sugarhouse to write about?

It is very important to see and feel the area before deciding what it is about. We will be going on our walkabout Friday, and I believe that is when we will concrete our plans for this project.
