The Past Week!

In the past week I have just been working on my paper and outline. I was able to complete my outline and thenb move onto my paper. I am currently on my 6th question and only have 4 more questions to do, I will then check it for errors and turn in my first rought draft. This draft will need to be changed several times, however I will try to get as much down as possible, before Monday, when we have to turn it in.

June 25, 2008

Today, I just worked on my Work Citied Page. I used all of the articles and webpages that were in MLA form in my Webliography, however I used many additional sources as well. So, I had to take the time to put them in MLA and put them on the Work Cited Page. I also printed up 4 articles that i am going to read and put into my notes. I am going to continue to do that until the notes are do, maybe just one and not 4 next time though.

NOTES!

Today, I met with you and we both went over my notes. We found that my notes are really good, and you helped me find some ways to help narrow down certain questions. I was also able to find more articles to help inform me about what the PSSA tests are and ones that helped me answer other questions. Tomorrow, I will continue to take notes and tonight I will find another article and answer some more questions, I hope.

All I see are NOTES!!!

Today, I found more articles and highlighted important information that would answer my questions. The article I found was Mrs. Bush's letter. I found this when I came across a good website, Reach Out and Read. This is an organization that helps with illiteracy but also notices what medical problems contribute to illiteracy. I posted this website on my blog because I think this is one that I will constantly refer back to. I also printed up my notes and turned them in, since I wasn't here on Friday.

MORE NOTES....................Collage

Today I finished my collage uploaded it and put in onto my Graduation Project page of my website. Today the classes were combined and we could work on what ever we wanted, within the two classes. I missed the first hour of class because I was with Ms. Anderson doing the interview for the HR Simulation for the 10th grade. This was really fun, being someone I'm not. When I came up, and after my collage, I worked on my notes. I read the articles that I printed up yesterday and typed them into my note documents. I then found another article and repeated the same step. I am still searching for articles that will help me answer the questions that I don't have any notes for. I really am trying, however finding notes on those questions is really hard. I will continue to work and try to find more articles that will help me.

Notes and NOTES

I was able to finish typing some more notes that were highlighted the day before. I then went and looked at all my notes and seen what questions I have notes for and what ones I don't. I found that, in questions two and eleven, I don't have any current notes. I spent the remaining time to find articles that would answer those specific questions. Some of my questions have a enormous amount of notes, because that is the most common. I am also trying to think of someone to interview as well as waiting for the lady at Children's Hospital to e-mail me back.

Interviews, Notes and Book Drive Information

Today we learned how to conduct an interview to our expert on our topic. I am also trying to find or think of someone that I can interview. I am currently waiting for the lady at Children's Hospital to e-mail me back and inform me if I would be able to do my action plan there. I was thinking that I will, this week, or early next week, start my book drive. I figured even if I can't read the books at the hopital I could still donate the books there, which are donated from the Book Drive here at school. I will write a e-mail to all the faculty members on all floors, except the Seniors, because they will be gone by then. I also continued taking notes, typing up the notes that I highlighted yesterday. I also kept looking for new articles that will help me answer my questions.
