Ground Booty: Day 5

We began our day by getting right down to business. We worked on our press release for pretty much the whole day. JC came to help us figure out how we want to plan and begin writing the piece. Together we created an outline for which the 5 paragraph press release was to be written from. After getting down the key information about what each paragraph was supposed to say, we split into groups and each began writing. 4 groups worked on the 2nd through 5th paragraphs while JC took our original ideas to concot a new first paragraph. During our lunch break JC worked diligently on editing our paragraphs to read as a coherent piece. After ,uch group discussion, we finally finished our press release!!! Isabella Mia Sullivan called Empire Banners and ordered a huge banner with our logo on it. Shireen was able to have it delivered to her house since the company was already in Astoria :) At the end of the day, we discovered a game room at the bottom of the ship where we played ping pong. Aside from accomplishing our biggest task, the press release, we also enhanced our "ping pong skills." : )
