2nd Help Project Reflection

Drew Hidalgo's Relatively Motivational/ Make You Smile posters in the hallways

What did you do to help?
I helped make posters and come up with motivational slogans afterschool with Drew Hidalgo and some other students on Thursday, January 6, 2011.
Who did you help?
I helped Drew Hidalgo with his lead project of making motivational posters or enjoyable posters to put up around the school to build school spirit or create a positive environment.
What did you learn?
I learned that the posters were relatively easy to make and did a lot to create a positive environment.  Some of the posters highlighted some of the quirks of our school, such as how the school is always frigidly cold.  However, by making posters that highlighted these quirks and poked fun at them, we were able to turn it from something students complained about to something students could joke about and bond over.
What would you do differently next time?
Next time, I might allocate more time.  We ran out of time to put the posters up at the end of the day.  Overall,  it was a very successful project and there was very little that I would change.  The posters were a good size and weren't overly obnoxious.  They had witty slogans that would bring joy to a student's school day.
Identify Pros & Cons
