1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?

One project that I remember in 6th grade is when we had to research a person and make a biography board. Another project that we did in 6th was when we picked an invention and make a box with a 3D scene inside of it. One other project that we did in 8th grade was when we had to reserach labyrinths and then we ended up building one.

2. Based on these projects, what does //research// mean to you?

Research to me means finding important information for your topic.

3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative?

In 6th grade when we did the box project I worked really hard on it and it really payed off because I got and A+ on the project!

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?

I found it very easy to come up with my questions because there are a lot of things that I want to know about my topic. It was also very easy to come up with my fat question because it was the big question that I wanted to know that answer to.

I will continue to look for helpful information on my topic.
