Football Reflection Essay

Reflection On Monday April fourth from 8:00 pm to 8:16 pm we had our initial gathering on the patio of Harris Hall. During this meeting we discussed who would be doing what job. “The presentation and packaging is everything,” (Davis) I and Katerina Garcia were both assigned research, LaBethany Bradford was in charge of creativity, and Hannah Huskey was the person who tracked all the meetings. At first we discussed southern food, traditions in the south, and football. We then decided to narrow the topic even more by making our main points not quite so broad. We started out by splitting up jobs and topics, how we would display our argument, and lastly we decided what kind of research would back our argument up. When beginning our project it
