November 15th

Today my partner and I met for the final time before the implementation paper is due, to bring all of our materials together and get a full understanding of what our finished product will look like. I had taken some pictures of some story cloths that my wife and I have, and sent them to Xiong to see if he wanted to use either of them. He really liked one of them, so we decided to use a photo that I had taken instead of one found on the internet. This would make the issue of copyright much simpler as far as the story cloths are concerned. We looked over everything that we had done so far, and began to put them together. Xiong indicated that he had made an attempt to collaborate with one of the on-campus Hmong associations, but had not heard a response back yet. If they do not respond by the time the product is due, we will have to note that in our implementation collaborators section. I guess sometimes things just don't go according to plan sometimes. Now I just need to finish up with the research portion of the paper, put the display together, and I think that should meet all of the necessary criteria for this phase of the project.
