1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done? Some prevous research projects we have done is our labyrinth project, mueseum exhibit, Athens and Sparta, The Glory That Was Greece project, and Greek Myths.

2. Based on these projects, what does //research// mean to you? Research to me means digging deeps into a subject to find out more about you topic.

3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative? One of my research successes was a project out Museum Project. I had enough time to look up my research, find some cool facts and I did a great job. One research project I did not do good on was our Labyrinth project. I had a hard time keeping up and figuring out which questions I have already done. I did not have enough time but in the end, it turned out to be a fun project.

Yes, having enough time and using that time wisely helps in research. Your grade is 10/10. Mrs. D
