1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done? I have done several research projects in English, Science, History, Religion, French, classes. I have done mostly projects on biographies and books. 2. Based on these projects, what does //research// mean to you? Research means to study a topic or many topics and to really get to understand it or them. It also means to learn as much as you can from a topic or topics and become familar with it or them. 3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative? A research success occured when I read very many biographies on Audrey Hepburn in my Reading class two years ago. I was very much familiar with her once I was done it was positive because I made a very high grade. To me, reading a lot on your topic is the best method.

Entry 2-3-15-07 1. I think the webbing process helped/did not help me find a topic because: It organized my thoguhts and everything that I needed to know on my topics. By webbing, it was clear which topic I wanted to write about. It was extremely helpfula nd made everything easier.

Entry 3-3-15-07

1. Topic: Black Plague 2. Why you chose it: It interested me and I thoguht it was a very important even in history. I had previously learned about this topic and I found it very fascinating. I thought that furthering my education on this topic would be a good idea. 3. What you already know about your topic: I knew it wiped out hundreds of millions of people worldwide. I knew this disease caused much conflict ( Such as between the Germans and the Jewish) and it changed the world. I also knew rats and pests carried the disease and it typicalaly spread throughout one's body on average in about a week. I also knew about the ways that they tried to prevent the disease and how what they did with the millions of its victims.

Your grade is 20/20.
