We had Professor Peerson came over and gave us an excellent lecture about formatting our HAP project. She pointed out many mistakes that people often made when doing their projects, and she wanted us to arrange the board in a way that would capture people’s attention. The lecture was helpful by offering suggestions for us that we could take into consideration. Now, we know what to avoid and what to put on our project to make it stand out more and also interesting to read at the same time. Because there were only four HAP projects this year, both professors recommended us to create posters for NAP project as well. All of us could split up the work instead of many people working on only one poster because it would be very chaotic if all 6 of us were working on the same poster without using Google Slide.
Because our group plans the event on next Fall Quarter, we do not have any picture to put on the poster. It is also very unprofessional to put some clip arts on the poster. Therefore, we could use GIS data that we will make and photos of the location as evidence to make the poster more interesting to read. In addition to that, I am thinking about drawing some images to put on the poster if anyone of us is good at drawing.

The book discussion this week was very engaging as many students share their ideas and concerns. It reminded me a workshop that I had attended, which was called Cross Culture Communication. I learned about “I” statement that we should use throughout the conversation and always understand that what I think does not mean that other people will think in the same way. Therefore, using I would not generalize my statement to everyone and also respect other individuals' cultures. It is better to use "they" to bring everyone together and not to leave out anyone when giving a presentation.
