1. Briefly describe what you PERSONALLY accomplished today:
Today was my first day back to school. I met up with my group members and told them what I have been working on. I worked on researching for the other articles. One of the articles I’m going to write is about “killer” algae. This type of algae is an invasive species that originated in the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. Somehow (I’m still not completely sure) the “killer” algae started to grow of the coast of southern California. It is important that people know about this algae because once it starts growing it takes over killing everything. If people see what they think is the “killer” algae then they are advised to take a sample and contact someone like the San Diego Regional Water Quality Board.

2. Briefly describe what your TEAMMATE(S) accomplished today:
Emily began to research about soil chemistry and its role in the wetlands. While Emily was researching, she found out that different wetland plants need a certain pH level in order to grow properly. Kathleen worked on our final website. So far, it looks really good and it is very apparent that Kathleen spent a lot of time learning how to use different tools to make the template.

3. Briefly describe how you and your partner(s) ASSISTED each other today?
Today we assisted each other by working individually. We divided the work up so that we could each accomplish a small portion of the bigger project.
