We played tetris like the whole class. Although I can't see this autostereograms, I still played because I wanted to try and get a high school but my highest was like 53 and I was on skilled and I just pressed the down arrow key until 53 popped up. So yeah, it was a good time.

some new questions..

I happened to think of a few new questions that I could possibly use for my essential question. I also worked on my questionnaire and I finished most of the questions on there. I might end up changing some of the answers but they are completed for the most part.

· Is the Salvation Army still reaching as many people as they used to?
· How many people have the Salvation Army helped/helping?
· How many volunteers have offered their help to the Salvation Army?

Proposal: Pre-writing Questionnaire

I worked on that for the majority of the class. At the beginning we just talked the graduation projects but for the rest of the time I just answered the questions that were on the questionnaire. Mrs. Savido also helped me on my essential question.

So...

I finished my webliography and now I started working on my essential and foundation questions. Since I last worked on them I've only thought of a few more questions but I honestly don't think they are very good. They are boring to me but I don't know. These are the questions that I have so far:

What is the Salvation Army?
Why is the Salvation Army important?
How can I help the Salvation Army?
What is the best way that I can help the Salvation Army?
What do you suppose would happen if I held a fundraiser for the Salvation Army?
How was the Salvation Army originated?


I don't know if these are any good but I'll keep working on them and hopefully I'll be able to think of more and better ones.

My day was spent,

Working again on my webliography. I got all my annotations and MLA citations done. I also finished up rating each website on a scale from 1-10. The websites I chose all seemed to range from 5-10, well, at least I thought that's what they should be graded. Everything is in alphabetical order and my webliography should be completed shortly.

Well,

Not much was accomplished today.
I filled out that college survey and now I'm trying to finish up my annotations and what not.
I have most of it done, I'm just not sure what else I'm going to have to add, I don't know, I'll figure it out.
I'll definitely be done with this on Friday, as long as I figure out what else I need to add to it.

Annotation

For most of the day, I just worked on the annotations for each website.

Works Cited..

I mainly just worked on my works cited today. I got about have of them done, and I'm still working on them.

Essential and Foundation Questions ?

What is the Salvation Army?
Why is the Salvation Army important?
How can I help the Salvation Army?
What is the best way to help the Salvation Army?
What do you supposed would happen if I held a fundraiser for the Salvation Army?


I don't really know how to write an essential or foundation question. I don't know what to write for mine?

My Collage.

Salvation Army collage

Most of my time today was spent working on my collage. I have it mostly done, but I'm not posting it on my blog yet because I think there are a few things on it that I can improve. It will definitely be done by tomorrow though.

My laptop broke. :(

Finishing up,

I'm finishing up on the three articles so that I can post it on Mrs. Savido's blog. That's what I've done all class and that's probably all I'm going to get to, but I don't know.

I also starting finding some pictures that include the Salvation Army.

Collages,

We watched a PowerPoint presentation of different collages that graduated students did on their project. There were some really interesting ones but most of them were not interesting at all. Now, we're supposed to work on our own collage so I'm going to start doing that.

Three articles,

Today, I worked on those three articles and that's about it.
