What are the Elements?

We are a group of students from Janine DeBaise's EWP 290 writing class at SUNY-ESF. We were told to choose a specific place to explore and research for about 10 weeks, and we chose the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. Once a week for 5 weeks, we released an element that was designed to inform others on our topic.  We then promoted it on social networks, specifically on twitter using #nifkin.
