4 fingers and a thumb meeting # 4

GROUP WORKSHOP

Meeting Date: 10-26-11

Those in Attendance: All Here (Brandon, Gabe, Dounya, Ella, Maya)

Agenda/Minutes:
 - ELLA'S EPIPHANY

          * For the helping hands part of our experiments:
We want to see if we can help people out to their cars from big chain stores and other smaller owned stores like Costco, Walmart, and other assorted grocery/hardware stores that don't offer that kind of service.
We want to see who and how many people would say yes to our offers to help, and who would say no, or ask us to leave the premises.. (Costco) *hint *hint *wink *wink*

 - Choose New Roles

   * Leader: Ella
   * Devil's Advocate: Maya
   * Blogger: Maya
   * Recorder: Dounya, Maya
   * Time Keeper: Gabe
   * Harmonizer: Brandon

 - We discussed a time and meeting place for our first attempt at Ella's Epiphany (the social experiment)
  * Meeting place: Gilroy Outlets
  * What Time: 1:00 pm
  * Date: 10-26-11
  * what we did: we tried Ella's Epiphany and although we were at both Walmart and Costco, only one person said yes and accepted our help out to her car. after that, Brandon talked with the main manager of Costco and they told us we had to leave the premises.
  * Conclusion: Costco doesn't like people helping their customers push their carts to their cars and back.

Possible Extra Experiment: Look Over There!!
  In which, you are to pretend that you see something interesting or funny out the window of a class room or in the ocean at the beach.
  The Objective: to see if you can get a whole class to look out the window or the whole beach to look out at the ocean trying to find what is so funny or interesting.
  Who knows.. maybe it'll work
