Midterm Project

This is where we ended up finding the book
A description of all the floors
 on the elevator

So this week, instead of going to our Monday class for English, we all got to go to the library aka "Club Atkins". I had a hard time finding my group because they said meet them on the second floor and I thought the basement was floor number one. Anyways, we started off by reading the assignment out loud and deciding on a book. Bryan came up with the idea of using a Dr. Sues book because a lot of his work can be interpreted different ways. We went online and checked to see if they would have any and where they would be. We didn't think they would because its a children's book, but to our surprise they had a lot by him. We found the book's call number "LU M1997 P745 C4" and started on our journey. Kelsey and Bryan went looking first while Nikki and I watched the laptops. After a little bit of time they came back and said they couldn't find it. They said the librarian said it was on the fifth floor. So now it was Nikki and my turn. We got up and walked to the Elevator and I asked Nikki if she had ever been to the tenth floor.

I figured we were supposed to explore the library and that was one of the coolest floors with all of the book and especially the view. She said no, so we took a quick pit stop and then were back on our mission. When we got on the fifth floor, there were so many books. We didn't know where to start. We had to have Bryan text us the call number because we forgot the paper.

10th floor
Once we received the text, we started to walk down the rows. Thinking it would be easy we wandered and then wandered some more. Quickly we found out that this wasn't going to be easy. We ended up finding the book and took it back down to the 2nd floor to talk about it. We talked as a group for a little bit of time then a few of us had to leave to go to our next class. I came back to my room after a long day and wrote into my day book.  I have a few pictures that were not able to make it in the slide show. Our slide show is on this website http://share.snacktools.com/A55A79EC5A8/bunaom9t.
