Week of April 20th

This past week in class we made more progress on our Station North projects. On Tuesday Marc Steiner came into our class and we went over the progress that we have made for our projects. Along with going over our projects for our class, two other classes joined us. Each individual class is focusing on a specific part of Baltimore and during this class session not only did our individual section go over the two projects we are building but the other class showed us videos of what they have recorded . Our homework for the past week was to listen to specific recordings and pull out again common themes that we noticed from other recordings that we listened to. I was asked to listen to the first 22 minutes of Jonathan Green. From listening to his recording it was clear that he felt that Station North has gotten safer within the past few years. At the 9 minute marker, Green said that people no longer had to walk backwards in Station North implying that one can now walk the streets without looking over their shoulders every few minutes. In class on Thursday each individual listening group got together to discuss what we found to be common about the recordings. Towards the end of class the class collectively discussed the themes that we were seeing across the board. The voice group discussed after class how we wanted to break apart the new recordings that we had acquired. With less than 2 weeks left of the semester, I'm beginning to feel the pressures of making sure everything is completed properly and is given my best effort.
