Getting ready for the presentation!

Today our group figured out how we are going to organize our presentation. After reading the article, we concluded that there are so many different topics that can be discussed. We deployed every group member with an interesting topic. My topic is about the community.

Other topics included the introduction to the story. Erin, the group leader, plans on summarizing the story for the beginning of the presentation. Another important aspect of the article, called "The Friend Game", was the fact that different personas can be created on the internet. Discussing safety issues on the internet for minors is very important as well.

Instead of just doing the typical and boring presentation, we are debating on doing some type skit or two different skits for the sake of time. But we are still debating about what type of skit we will do, or how many.

Since the story was about a young girl who committed suicide, I decided to tie in suicide stats with the community. I found out that the suicide rate is higher nationally than the homicide rate. I also found out that Megan, the girl who committed suicide, fits the description of a person who is likey to commit suicide. The rate of white females in the age group of 13-24 is on the rise, not to mention that her home state ranks number 20 out of 50 states with the highest suicide rate.

On Monday, we will meet a hour before class starts to rehearse and figure out the order of presenters.
