Ethnography Reflection

At first thinking about the ethnography project, I chose signs and meanings of what I found around campus. From that I really like the idea of writing about quotes and messages because they influence the way I think and feel about certain situations. Especially bible verses, I connect with them the most because God is what I believe in most. Once my group and I did our field work of finding quotes on posters, around campus, and bible verses we tried to do a slide show. Finding out the slide show was not getting out point across as much as we wanted it too, we thought of a better idea; a power point. Our revision into the power point made a lot of things easier because then we could also write what we each thought about each picture and how if affected us individually. I loved working with a group because once all of our ideas came together for each picture it made me realize that our interpretations are different but at the same time similar. I really enjoyed the aspect of putting a power point together rather than actually writing a paper because it helped me get the points across easier and more effectively. I feel as if I had to write a paper about quotes and messages, it wouldn't have came together as it did. I don't think we could have expressed ourselves in depth as we did through power point. I really liked this assignment because it made us think outside the box, rather than the traditional written paper thinking. I liked how we had to do field work and collaborate further than just talking about the pictures, we also had to come together and discuss what we thought the meanings of the pictures meant in our own ways. Overall I really liked how we connected with the different topics we found.
