Discuss look and feel issues:

C) My website is very nice, includes detailed, yet concise, information. Also, it matches the colors of my poster, and include images and backgrounds that fit the topic. I have not yet started or thought of my video, but hopefully itll come out as good as the poster and website.
D) Post support material- Pictures, child friendly event, interaction with kids. I will use a laptop, board, and keep things very simple.

A) To raise awareness over the topic that children get bullied for wearing glasses, when having bad eyesight isn't in their control. 
B) It is important because children should not feel insecure for having bad eyesight, because it isn't something to be ashamed of. We should all try to make these kids feel like its okay to have bad eye sight, and that they shouldn't feel bad about it.
C) I plan on becoming an Opthamologist when I grow up, and I want all my patients in the future, to not feel ashamed about having bad eyesight, also, to stop bullying.
D) My project gives back to society by raising awareness about the subject, and possibly being the first step to once and for all, stop bullying that goes on towards kids who wear glasses.
E) Basically, it addresses the help that we can give towards our environment. It is a way of making Richland more "green", for which environmental sustainability is a way of life for the students and staff here.
