Exchange;
- To give up (something) for something else; part with for some equivalent; change for another.

Project Summary;
-The class was separated into groups to construct 3D compositions. We were assigned a specific word and as a team, scouted on-campus for locations to place our word, took pictures of the locations, we discussed how to build the letters, the type of glue or adhesive to use and whether they be bare cardboard or painted. 

Reflections on Different Parts of the Project;
- The team portion of the Project What language looks like was my favorite part. Not only did we got to construct 3 foot 3D compositions and actually showcase our work. Initially when we first brain stormed for our word we did not have a Christmas tree in mind. Our first thoughts were a bank, bus stop, telephone, library, Wesco, and stairs. We then created a mind map which helped a lot, which led us to the exchanging of gift and Christmas. Throughout this process I learned that making 3D compositions of 8 letters is a pain and that it really dulled out my blade. There weren't too many difficulties that crossed our paths. Overall I enjoyed this project. 

Team Dynamic;

My team members were Amber Anschu, Lauren Russell, Pagie Kime, and Myself. We worked well together throughout the whole process. Everyone each contributed something and did not just stand around. During the end of the project Lauren and Kim had  a slight conflict with each other, but it did not affect the project at all. Individually I did not have any issues to work with, it was just the whole building the letter portion that was time consuming.
Reflection of Construction, Placement & Photos;
- After the team finished making and building our three foot letters, we decided to wrap the word in wrapping paper, signifying Christmas and the exchanging of gifts. The words were placed under an oak tree we found near the bell tower. The overall concept worked well together because it was based around the theme of Christmas and gifts.
