Today in the mentor meeting we talked about what we needed and we need to research some more and find out if apple and Nike are still using child labor. Also we need to work out what's going on our pamphlet on page 1,2, 3 and 4. We need to get the materials we are going to use for the video. Black drape or black material, Some bricks, Thread, needles and buttons, Buckets for water and a long bamboo stick or something to carry the water buckets across your shoulders. How long do you think the video should be and when are we going to make the video. I was think if we ask Shane and he lets us then we can do that on a Monday or Tuesday morning from 8:30 to 9:40.

Add to the video what other videos happen. Tell how much money children earn. We need more examples for what child labor is. Change and edit video. Don’t make a second video. Child labor is much more than being beat up with a stick. Take action but make it doable for a kid like you. Send letter to a company that uses child labor and ask to stop. Mr. Jake has buckets for exhibition. Anna Wong talks to Mr. Low bricks and rocks. This afternoon Ms. Merendino will look for companies that use child labor. We have to work on video at my house(Astrid) Talk to Ms. Wong. Room 4000. Mr. Low cannot get, we will do something else. Fix Action box in flyer. Look for companies and proof too.

=Thursday 29 April 2010=

Finish the pamflet by Tuesday. Make sure there are also pictures in it Action collom nust be separated into little parts when new action idea is written down. Video is good. But add music. Not to depressing and not to happy. Start the list with the shops you can't buy from, and a list where you can. Show it to mentor first and then print out if she likes it, hand it out in apartment and school and exhibition.

=Tuesday May 4 2010= We need to finish the pamphlet. (Have the title of the chart) Bring in the stuff for the activities. The three posters need to be neat, clear, with big writing and everything cut out very carefully. Next time Video needs to have writing to make sense. Pictures on the video need to relate to what the text is saying. Bring the petition in next meeting and have it printed out (Unless there is color) Pictures on the video and on the pamphlet need to answer the question you asked. Pictures also need to prove what is happening and that it is happening.

=Thursday May 6 2010= Add music to the video. Make it sad music not really hard. Photocopy the pamphlet for the poster 27 times. Keep the normal (color) version. Bring in the poster next mentor meeting. Have all the posters edited and ready to be showed. Bring in all the supplies for the game:Buckets, Sand, Rocks, how to play, and the cones. Check first class and the latest news.

=Tuesday May 11 2010= Music is added, the video is finished. Pamphlet is copied, it is finished too. Today is the last day of exhibition. Send mentor the photos and the group information so that she can cut it out nicely. Buy the sand and bring in the rocks tomorrow for the exhibition set up. Tomorrow will be all day setting up in the gym, art is only subject we will be doing that day. The blanket needs to be washed for the table tomorrow. Don't forget anything. Print out the petition and hang up.
