Week 5 of Genius Hour came with some challenges that we did not plan for but we figured out a solution around it. Our original plan was to interview Mr. Poller for our next episode as we had already set that up with him. We were supposed to interview him during Smart Block on Wednesday so we walked down to his classroom but his door was closed and none of the lights were on. Me, Cam, and Ethan looked at each other and said "You guys think Mr. Ferebee would let us interview him right now?" So we walked down to his classroom but he wasn't there either. Next we walked to Mr. Marrs' classroom but decided instead of interrupting him he would check back in with Mr. Barker first. We told Mr. Barker our situation and he said he would text Mr. Poller to see what was up. It turned out that he was pulled into a last minute STEM meeting that he could not leave. We decided we would try our luck going across the hall to Mrs. Snider's class who also happens to be Cam's mom. She said she would be happy to let us interview her during 3rd period so we could also get some of her student's perspectives on her class as well. The interview went great and the discussion with her students was very helpful. Since neither Cam, Ethan, nor I have her class it was good to get a perspective from a student's view which will help us in our next podcast episode that we will be recording this week.
In response to a comment from last week, the reason our teachers are not in our podcast is because the recording equipment is at Ty's house and we don't have the ability to move it since it is borrowed. Also our podcast is done on a student's perspective of classes for future student's to learn more about what to expect and experience with classes at Davie High. One thing we learned this week is that we need to do follow up emails with our teachers the day before we are planning to interview them to remind them of the interview. Another thing we learned is that sometimes we will run into problems such as scheduling or last minute changes, however, we need to adapt and figure out a solution so that each week we can use our time wisely and move forward with our production schedule.

I think it's cool that your project gives us perspective and insight from the teachers that we typically wouldn't have. This was a great idea for the project!
