        Our group was composed to five members: Jasmine, Eduardo, Ruby, Nathan, and myself (John). Each of us brought different skillsets and experiences to the table that helped create a cohesive presentation. Each of us had a clearly defined role when we were getting the content (photographs and videos) for our presentation. As Nathan was the more outgoing member of the group, he volunteered to hand out the flyers and be the main actor in the images and video. Eduardo and Ruby also took part in handing out the flyers to strangers in the dining hall. Jasmine and I were responsible for taking the pictures and recording the video content. As a group, I think we were able to communicate well with each other through the use of the GroupMe (chat app) app. We were able to easily coordinate a time to meet up and film the content for our subsequent group presentation. I think what helped made our project a success was that we were all open to each others’ ideas. For example, we all agreed to film at the Ikenberry Dining Hall at around 6PM because we all thought the location and time would allow us to meet many people to hand out flyers to. For our protest strategy, I think it was important to find a specific time and place that would most induce as much exposure to as many people as possible. However, I think if we could have done things differently, we would have also implemented a protest utilizing social media. To reach out to college students in particular, I think using social media can help bolster one’s efforts to spread the word about their protest and cause.
