Pitch and New Project Idea

Today in class Ms. Conrad gave us a sheet titled Pitch Requirements/Brainstorming which has questions about how we are supposed to do our pitch and a display. The displays range from PowerPoint, prezzies, tri-fold boards, etc. My partners are still Destiny Ducasse and  Adaora Onuigbo we are going to cook different types of food at a soup kitchen for less fortunate people. We are going to go to at least three different soup kitchens and with the foods that we cook for them we are going to bring to community day. Our mentor is Adaora's mom Ms. Jacqoline Gilkey.

  1. I'm glad you have found a mentor. I think this is a good idea. How will you research which soup kitchen's you are going to work with? When will you contact them?

  2. This is a wonderful humanitarian project. Where are you planning to do this? How frequently? Have you already contacted any soup kitchen? What did they say?

    Please make sure you answer the following questions about your learning process EACH week in your blog. Show your creativity (possible through a picture or video), thought process, problem solving (thinking) skills, who you worked with and what you discussed. Have you talked to your your mentor lately?

  3. We are planning to do this at a soup kitchen and at nearby nursing homes. I am not sure yet how frequently but I do know that we will being doing it on Saturdays. At this point in time we have not yet contacted any soup kitchens or nursing homes but we are working on that. Since we have not started the project yet I have not spoken with my mentor. Right now I am working on posting different blogs and trying to figure out if the foods I am making contain too much sugar or salt so that I can make the food just right for the people we will be serving it to. Next I plan on calling the soup kitchens and nursing homes and discussing it with Adaora's mom to make sure that she is aware of this project. I am going to research soup kitchens in the Henry County area. I have one nursing home in mind that is located in Lithonia Georgia. I will contact these places again as soon as I talk it over with my partners and also my mentor.
