Curation Progress (Week 1/Blog 7)

A couple of weeks ago, we had our first blog post due on our progress with our curations. However, my original curation idea was shot down on the Friday before the post was due and my teacher told me to think of a new idea over the weekend. Over the weekend I tried to think of what kind of curation project I could do that still involved my main theme, plants. I tried but I could not come up with a curation that I would be excited about doing, and thus not do a good job on. On Tuesday or Wednesday I went to my teacher, and I told him of my situation, (the blog post was due on Wednesday for our first progress report). After a few minutes we came up with a curation that I was satisfied with doing. Unfortunately because it took me longer than most to come up with a curation, I did not get the first Curation Progress Report Blog Post done by the due date because I had not yet started working. This was for Blog 7.

Until next time,
Rachel.

Curation Progress Report

This week I have made a few new boards on my Pinterest to organize the pins a little better, but I'm having trouble coming up with different categories.  I've pinned many helpful links that I believe will be helpful to anyone, whether they are an experienced plant caretaker or a beginner.

I've found a lot of interesting websites that talk about caring about specific types of flowers is strange ways. For instance, there was one that I found that suggested milk and water to be poured on roses to cure the black spots on their leaves and stems. Crazy!

One thing I'm noticing is that it's difficult to stay within my topic and not include things that are just on the outside of my specific curation. This week I'll have to try and get organized a little better and plan out even more what boards I should have, what kind of pins should go in them, and how many pins I should have per board.

Until next time,
Rachel.

Curation Progress Report

This week I do not have any progress to report for my curation. I've been a little bit occupied with getting ready for prom all week, AP tests, and final projects, and I still have a lot left to do. I will however have much progress to report for the next blog post. Have a nice week!

Until next time,
Rachel.
