entry1 3/15/07 1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done? A few of the projects I remember are the Labyrinth Project this year, and the regonal Sportsman's Paradise research poject in 7th grade. 2. Based on these projects, what does //research// mean to you? To me it means searching for information assigned to you. 3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative? In 7th grade our regonal Sportsman's Paradise project was a negative because nobody in my group or any other group really understood what we were suposed to do.
