Essential Question..

Today we're supposed to think of an essential question. It can start with either "Which one", "Which is best", "How", "What do you suppose will happen", "Should", "Why", or "What is the best". I don't even really know how to ask this question so I don't have one yet. I should probably have one by my next post but I am unsure. Maybe I'll be able to think of one after I write this one. I don't know. -- Well it's now the end of the class and I haven't thought of any questions. Maybe one will come to me on Wednesday. We're off Tuesday !

Webliography

I just finished up my webliography. I found 16 different websites that have information on the Salvation Army and different things they've done to help. That's pretty much all that I did all day. It's not much, but it's more than nothing.

Red Kettles

Today, I basically just looked up ways that I would be able to help. I looked up the Salvation Army on the Northside and I found out that they are always looking for people to help with the Kettles, Project Bundle-Up, Treasures for Children, Operation Toy Lift and much more. As I was reading about the Red Kettles, I found out that they have been doing the Kettles since 1891 in San Francisco. Also people from the Northside Salvation Army spend some nights going out in groups to look for homeless people to give food or shelter. Shelter isn't always available though because they have very limited space and sometimes not everyone will have space. Apparently under the Monroeville Exit Overpass there are little bronze plaques with the names of homeless people and the year they passed away with the saying "We Remember." I thought that was pretty interesting to I shared that with you all.

More Key Terms,

Today, I'm going to continue to find key terms that have to do with my project. So far I think I have about 7? I don't know, all I know is that I need to find some more. I really don't know what other words to put so I guess I'll just have to find some more words that have a little bit to do with my project. I don't know, I'm kind of confused on the whole thing now.

Key Terms..

Today, I guess I have to start my key terms. These are just ten to fifteen words that have to do with my project. Well, I'm just going to get started on them.

Friday, September 19, 2008

Well,

right now I'm working on my webliography. We're supposed to have 10 websites but I only have 7 as of this moment. I'm giving all the sites I have a title so it helps out Mrs. Savido a little bit. Maybe soon I'll start working on my key terms, that is if I can find any. Nothing immediately comes to my mind.

Today,

I have just been looking at websites that might have any information about the Salvation Army and what I could possibly do my graduation project on involving them. Toys for Tots may be a good idea, Red Kettle would be nice too. I'm just not sure what I'll be allowed to do. I don't know if they allow young volunteers to help out with these things. I hope they do because i would like to do my project on this. I think it would be a good idea and I just like to help out. I don't have any questions yet though so I'll have to start thinking of those soon.

The Salvation Army.

That's my new idea.
I'm just going to research the Salvation Army and figure out different ways that I'm able to help.
They are my mom's clients at work and she thought it would be a good idea to do something with them.
She said around Christmas time they do Toys for Tots and I thought I could help with that.

honestly,

I don't know what I'd like to do anymore.
I thought the Costa Rica project would be a good thing,
but I really don't have anything to research about it.
Everything I need to find out should probably be from
Ms. Wilds or Mr. Oliver since they are planning the trip.
Websites won't have any of the information that they'll
need to give me. So I'm still pretty unsure as to what my
topic could be.

?

So, I'm pretty much set on my idea of doing my graduation project on Costa Rica.
I think it would be pretty cool. I mean I just have to figure out all the information that goes into the trip and how much it costs and when we're going and what fund-raising activities we will be taking part in.

costa rica

Mrs. Savido helped me think about doing Costa Rica for my graduation project.
It's a very good idea because I will be going there with the school next April break.
We have a car wash and a camping trip planned in the next few months that will help us prepare for this trip.
I'll have to look more into this but I think that I will probably be doing this.

i still have nothing.

I'll just have to think really hard later tonight about this.
I honestly have no idea what to do.
I guess i have a few thoughts as to what I could do, but I don't know how I could go about and put them into a project.
This is really stressful.

ideas?

So me and my mom were talking last night about what I could possibly do for my graduation project.
I decided that I would like to do something along the lines of volunteering at different places cause I enjoy doing it and I think that it'd be able to hold my interest for two years.
My mom like the idea of doing something with peer pressure or laughter.
I don't really understand how I'd be able to do a project on either of those, I just don't know.

I'm still not sure..

I just don't know.
I possibly have two ideas, I wouldn't mind doing something with either volunteer work or photography.

blog :(

Well, today I set up this account. I have never blogged in my life and I think it's stupid. It's not exciting at all, pretty boring if you ask me.
