Last Thursday we presented our 20% project presentation and we realized we needed to do a lot of work. On Friday I was not there for 20% day but Mallory and Kate informed me on everything we did that day. Mallory was working on the project Thursday night and decided the hooks were not going to work, but we came up with a different thing. We are still going to use the wood and everything, just no hooks. Instead we are using flat rope to slide between the frame and the door  then we will put the washer on it then tie a large knot then close the door. Also Mallory found some pulleys that will work and that are for free. We do not need to pay for the hooks anymore, so Mallory will give our money back to use if we had already paid. Hopefully we will start the construction of the pulley soon.

Today Mallory, Kate, and I combined all of our slide shows together. Kate and I decided to have three slides instead of two. We now have nine slides instead of six. Kate’s extra slide is about how the stretcher will help us stretch and how the girl will model the stretcher. My extra slide is about why we chose the stretcher for our twenty percent project. We edited all the slides and made them stand out to get peoples attention, so they will want to use something like the stretcher to become more flexible. We finished all of the slides and are ready to percent on Thursday, November twenty first. Each of us will speak for a little longer than a minute. For our hook for our presentation we will have a video of Mallory tumbling on our power point. If not mallory she will find a video of someone else who is very good at tumbling and put it on the power point.

Today Mallory, Kate, and I all worked on our update presentation. We each have two slides that we are going to each have three slides to talk about. My two slides are about how much money we will need for all the supplies, and my second slide was about all the due dates for the supplies and the time we will start making the stretcher and the date that we will finish the stretcher. Mallory's slides are about the supplies and the construction. Kate's slides are about tips, benefits, and prevention. Each slide is decorated with pictures and creative fonts and backgrounds that go with our slides. I got the pictures off of google and made the slide show on key note. Our update presentation will be five minutes long. Each person will speak about her side they made. Each slide should be a little bit under one minute long.

Today Mallory and I (Kate was absent) all turned in our money for the supplies (excluding Kate). Mallory also found a girl from her cheer team to model how the stretcher is going to work. Her name is Mikaela Albrick. We also found a hook that might work, but we are going the keep looking for a better one but if all else fails and none of them work mallory will make one out of wood. We talked about how we are going to make a power point for the presentation and how we should mention to never stretch cold and to do a brief 5 to 10 minute warm up aerobic exercise, for example, a slow jog or cycling on a stationary bike before stretching to reduce the risk of pulls or tears in muscles. This is the picture of the hook we might use. Here is also a picture of the girl we are going to use to model the stretcher.
