How I am going to document my work:

I am planning on documenting my work through an interactive slideshow/website platform. I am going to be keeping a journal of my thoughts as I work through this difficult topic, and I am planning on organizing both factual statistical information as well as my own thoughts into this slideshow. That way, a viewer can click around and learn more about different aspects of my project. I am going to figure out the best platform for this website through research/online videos about how to make an interactive presentation.
