Blog Entry #3.10 - Process Journal 2 (E)

I have made the background of my poster and put the graduation cap on the poster thus far. My work can be improved by choosing a better background color. The background should make everything blend in and i don't think mine does that. I would give myself a 6 because i have been personally engaged and i been doing things safely, being cooperative and shown respect to others. I could improve by working faster in class.
