Next Steps on class project

In our class project my groups worked on information from the past. I put together a timeline of Hollins Market from every student’s decade assignment. For the next step of our class project I think we should set a due date for everyone to have their portions due and determine how long/how many pages our zine should be. What do we want our zine to look like? Colorful? Black and White? Designs?  I think we should also begin planning what order the zine should go in as well as where the walking tour is going and what buildings we plan to talk about. Should we do flash cards for the building we want to talk about during the tour?

Where to go from here?

I think our project name should definitely include Hollins in the name. Some of my ideas include Hollins History, Life in Hollins Market, or A Day in Hollins Market. In order to really begin this project, we need to figure out exactly what we are doing, we spoke of many things last week and I believe we have settled on a video and a zine. As a class we need to determine what information we want to include and how we will execute it. Since we have each done research on a decade I think we should include a quick synopsis of each decade. I also think we should include our building research as these buildings have been in the neighborhood for decades. I think our video should hit some major topics of the history and even some interviews with neighborhood shop owners, the people that live there, and even some of the kids.
