Day 5

Project Title: To be determined

Project Description: I am going to help make the Elephant Keeper Daily Report more user friendly because they are switching from writing the reports by hand to doing them electronically. I will also write an essay about the things I am learning about, such as the way the keepers train the elephants and the research that is currently being done. When I'm finished with the essay, I will make a PowerPoint presentation to go along with it, which I will use while doing my POL.

Project Schedule: To be determined

Materials & Equipment: My laptop and my brain.

Project Documentation: I think all of my project is going to be done electronically so anything that I document will be on my laptop.

My Day:
It was pretty cold today and it started to rain while we were cleaning the main yard at around 11:45. Other than that, things went well. I watched the keepers take off the elephants' collars after we cleaned and then we spread out different types of food for the elephants, such as beet pulp, alfalfa hay, and bermuda hay. As I continue working, I'm getting a better idea of how things operate and what I can do to help the keepers. It's a lot of physical work, but I'm enjoying the opportunity.
