Subject: Individual Activity Report 1

This is a report of my progress for the first week of the white paper group project. I have been working on this project with my team since March 29th. Starting on March 29th I began by setting up an email chat document with the other members of group 3 in order to have an effective way to communicate about the project. We all thought of possible topics and bounced the ideas off of each other, we collectively decided on our topic, and I began researching the topic on the internet. We divided the topic up into sections and I focused my research on my section of the white paper. I have began looking for images to use on our white paper, and have saved some images to my computer that I think might be good for the project. I have done a lot of communication with my group this week and we have decided to meet in person on Monday or Tuesday afternoon in order to begin piecing the final draft together. I also spent time this week creating, and submitting the group activity report. In the days ahead I will focus on piecing together the final draft with my group in order to make it sounds as if the same person wrote the whole document, we will focus on making the wording and tone flow together nicely.
