 * 1 - Reflection on Previous I Search Experiences - due Mon. April 7

1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?**
 * In the past I have done research projects on coreographers, The Natchez Christmas Festival, and Pandas


 * 2. Based on these projects, what does //research// mean to you?**
 * To me research means to look for specific information and details about a particular subject.


 * 3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative?**
 * One of my successes was in a ballet project where we had to make a ballet. I think this was a positive experience because I had to cover alot of research and in the end it payed off with an A. The only thing that I would've done different is to make sure that my information that I used is valid.
