Describe the connection between your research (annotated bibliography) and your product.

How will you display the entire process in in your digital portfolio?
I will display my entire process with videos and summaries.

Estimate the number of hours needed to complete ALL of the items on your to do list (page 2) including
your final product. You must document at least ten (10) fieldwork hours outside of class.
I estimate to take about 10 hours to complete.

Explain how you will document each and every step for completing your product (journal, blog, video blog,
etc.). This must be a documented (10 entries minimum) that will be uploaded digitally. There will be
checks on this throughout the process.
I will document each and every step by journal or vlog.

What do you hope to learn during this process? Remember that this is not a research paper or project
but an experience.
I hope to learn how muscle growth and weight loss is achieved while working out.

How will this final product go outside of the realm of simply a benefit to you? How will your knowledge,
experience, creation, etc., benefit others?

It will benefit others by showing them the way to achieve muscle growth or / and weight loss.

My To Do List
Below list the steps and timeline you will attempt to follow to complete your product. As you
complete the product, make additions or subtract steps as you go if and when necessary. Even though
you completed this To Do list, it will certainly change. Change it on your Googledocs, as it will be a
part of your digital portfolio.
