Putting It All Together

      Last week, we started our presentation! Disclaimer: We wanted to put all our information together in one area (not purely for TED talk). After doing a bunch of research on the drought and gathering the results from our survey, we felt that we had enough information to begin putting something together. We still have some more work to do; we plan on interviewing students so we have more opinions about the drought from the public. By finding out what the majority of the community doesn't know about the drought and its effects, it's easier to figure out what sort of information we need put into our presentation. We don't want to ramble on about topics that people are already familiar with; we want to teach them something new and give them something to take away from our presentation. For example, from the survey we found that most people understand the effects of global warming on the drought so we've been focusing on the effects of agriculture on the drought. The only problem that we've really had is managing time. We haven't necessarily fallen behind schedule but we definitely feel the pressure of the short amount of time we have left to finish our presentation.
