Reminder from Stadshallen

Confirmation from Mats at Stadshallen to put out the electrical chord for our speakers today.

Marco Polo!

Great News!!
The Marco Polo Team (the ones who created this dance) has found our flash mob event on facebook. Now they want us to send them the video of when we are doing the dance so they can share it on their youtube-channel and their website! This means we have to do a really good performance so we can look good for the Marco Polo Team! Here is what they wrote to us:

UPDATE 19/12

He also created an event for a road trip to Sweden just to see our flash mob! 

Meeting with Mathias

In our meeting we talked about how to improve my journal writing. We came up with two things that I can do better:

-apply specific points from research; quotes, methods in project specification (ex. method on how many people are entering at the same time - where you got it from)

-Specification - take points from journal (how many people will be in it) <-- mainly for Johanna

About Marco Polo: Team Marco Polo is produced by a creative team that has developed bestselling media for popular kids’ shows like Beakman’s World and Bill Nye, The Science Guy. They have a website (www.teammarcopolo.com), a facebook site, a youtube channel, a twitter account; everything to be available to everyone! This is how they describe themselves on Facebook:

Team Marco Polo is a family travel show that takes you on a hilarious, informative and offbeat tour of the world. Join Marco and a host of characters as they parade through the rich tapestry of culture, arts, language, and history that has made the world such an exciting place to live in! Take a tip from Marco: "To learn about the world is to learn about yourself, so keep exploring!!"

Based on my research, I can say that Team Marco Polo is:

• An entertainment show/website for kids
• A team who entertains along with teaching
• A travel guide to the world (they show clips where they travel to places, and educate kids on the streets by asking questions about other countries' location, etc)

Here is an example of a fun blog entry that is a true fact from their website:

History Schmistory: November 28. “Someone should invent the windshield.”

1895: The first American automobile race takes place along a 54 mile stretch between Chicago’s Jackson Park and Evanston, Illinois. In a little over 10 hours, Frank Duryea wins by a two hour nose. Here we see the thrill of their victory…

This is the first entry posted on their blog. This video doesn't really teach me much, but makes me wonder who Oschter Haws is. It's entertaining!

Who is Oschter Haws?
