1 - Reflection on Previous I Search Experiences (due Thur, Mar 15)** 1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done? I have done many researche problems such as, I report on the states in 5th grade, English EUtopia project in 6th grade, report on heuy P. Long in 7th grade. 2. Based on these projects, what does //research// mean to you? Doing lots of realy boring work on an assignment you don't care about that is forced upon you by a teacher. 3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative? I procrastinated on doing a science research project and ended up doing it at 5 in the morning the day it was due, i got a decent grade, but i lost alot of sleep.

Boring? Forced upon you! I am sorry that you feel this way. I hope that you enjoy this project. Your grade is 10/10. Mrs D

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? It helped me focus on my project by thinking of interesting questino that will make research more fun, and to me it's much easier to do something when its fun. A lot of questions just came to me, what i found difficult was determining whether it was a fat or skinny question.
