Giant Squid Summer School Challenge #4 "Acknowlegments"

Giant Acknowlegments
As part of the Giant Squid Summer School, participating Giants receive a specific weekly lensmaking challenge. They have a week to work on the lens, and then post it below to "turn in" their homework and show that it's done.

The Week 4 Challenge is to make an Acknowledgments lens.

"When an author writes a book, she writes an Acknowledgments section where she pays homage to and says thanks for all the people who helped along the way.

Acknowledging the people who got you where you are, or helped with a particular project, or inspire you daily, is a great way to recommend people for their work (and say thanks). So this week's challenge is to make an Acknowledgments lens of your own."

"The secret to your success with these lenses is that when you say thanks, say it loud and say it proud. If you're including someone in your Acknowledgments lens, make sure he or she knows about it. Send it to the bloggers you mentioned, to the Realtor you thanked, to the contractor you love, to the authors you claimed as mentors.

Imagine how you would feel if someone included you in his Acknowledgments.

Personal and relevant and annotated recommendation is what makes the web go round."

Here's what the Giant Squid Summer School Class of 2009 came up with!

Giant Squid Summer School Students and participating RocketMoms: Please add your Restaurant Review Assignment Lenses to the List Below.
