Last week, there was a little bit of a scramble. There was nothing up on the story map, the introduction and conclusion had hardly been written, and there were no sources. And the deadline was coming up very soon: we had less than a week to pull it all together and present a good project.
\nLuckily, this ended up being due to us not putting up the information, rather than a lack of information itself. We all had the content and the sources for the storymap, but it hadn’t made its way there yet. All we had to do that night was upload the sources, and write what we already knew into the introduction in conclusion. So what had been a nearly empty project on Thursday looked nearer to a finished product on Friday. \u00a0And over the weekend, everything has been improved even more.
\nI think the story map came together very well. Teiji and my topic overlap quite a bit: a lot of concepts I introduce she later expands on, so two perspectives are given on a similar event. While Nathan\u2019s topic doesn\u2019t fit as neatly, it definitely is still relevant, and that idea can be easily expressed through our introduction. All in all, the project I\u2019ve been stressing over all semester is finally coming together in a cohesive way, with interesting and interlocking perspectives.
\nOne struggle I faced while putting together my section of the story map was finding the location of one of the sources. It was cited as being taken in the city of Kyria, which I could not find when I typed the name into Google. We met with Eric later that day, and he hadn\u2019t heard of the city either. However, when I asked if I should just put the location of the picture as a more general area, Eric encouraged me to keep searching for the true location. I\u2019m grateful he gave me that advice. I finally found the real city. When I found the original source, it spelled the city as Keriya rather than Kyria. With the new spelling, I was able to put my source to a concrete location. It was incredibly rewarding to finally find this location. While the current ability to Google everything and find an answer right away is incredibly useful, there\u2019s something exhilarating about solving a small mystery and having to dig a little deeper. Here is the picture taken in the city of Keriya:
