1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done? Some of the previous projects I have done on wikispaces were the labyrinth project and the youth ledge project. 2. Based on these projects, what does //research// mean to you? Based on these projects, research means to find a way to better understand a subject or topic. 3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative? One of my research successes was my labyrinth project because I learned that when you walk the labyrinth you are supposed to go on an emotional journey.I thought that this was a positive experience because the more you look into a subject the more you can learn.

 * 4 - Pre-Notetaking Activity - in class (due Wednesday, April 9)**

1. Describe how the pre-notetaking sheet helped you find both focus for your topic and research questions to investigate. Did you find it easy or difficult to create a fat question from your ideas? This sheet lead me to think outside of the box on the questions that I would ask. It made me think of broader and more open ended questions than I would usually ask. I found it easy to find the general ideas of what I would like to ask,but hard to word them in the right way.
