ENTRY 1: 4-6-08 __**1 - Reflection on Previous I Search Experiences (due Mon. April 7)**__ //I have resently done projects on labyrinths, and last year I did a project on the planets.// //Research to me is when you search for information through any kind of resource to find info on a specific topic.// //One of my research successes was using the internet for my planets project because I found a lot of usefull information that was the basis for my paper. One of my failures was when I had to use a text book for my planets project, because even though it had some usefull information it was not nearly as much as I was hoping for.//
 * 1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?**
 * 2. Based on these projects, what does //research// mean to you?**
 * 3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative?**

ENTRY 2: 4-7-08 __**2 - Reflection on Webbing Process (due Tuesday, April 8)**__ //I think that the webbing process helped me get an idea about what I might want to do, but I just got my topic for the paper tonight because I kept second guessing the other ideas I had chosen.//
 * 1. I think the webbing process helped/did not help me find a topic because:**

ENTRY 3: 4-7-08 //How did the role of women develop in ancient society from ancient Greece to the middle ages? // //I chose this topic because I it seemed interesting to learn about.// //I already know that back in ancient times, women were gardeners and house wives and wernt allowed to do any jobs that men did.//
 * __3 - Why I Chose This Topic and What I Know About My Topic (due Tuesday, April 8)__**
 * 1. Topic:**
 * 2. Why you chose it:**
 * 3. What you already know about your topic:**

ENTRY 4: 4-8-08 __**4 - Pre-Notetaking Activity - in class (due Wednesday, April 9)**__
 * 1. Brainstorm a list of questions related to your topic.**

Why where the women of ancient times treated so poorly? What did the women wear? Where women considered inferior to men? If so why? Did the women have to take care of the sick even if they were not related? What where the womens jobs? Why did the women have to get married at a young age? Why did the women have to marry an older man? Who picked who the woman would marry? Did the women recieve an education? If the women did not recieve an education, why not? I had about 25 questions and right now these are the only ones i can remember. (mrs d i keep typing my questions up and then saving them then i come the next day and they are all deleted and i have done then 3 times already...im perfectly fine with redoing them again but they might be gone again)

ENTRY 5: 4-8-08 __**5 - Reflections on Pre-Notetaking - for homework (due Wednesday, April 9)**__ //I first found it very difficult to come up with a topic, much less a fat question for my topic. Once I decided on my main topic then it was a little easier to figure out my fat question. After I had established what my fat question was going to be, skinny questions came like no big deal. I think that the pre-notetaking sheet helped to a certain degree. I have always had trouble with these kind of things in the past so I wasn't exactly supprised when I couldn't think of anything. :)//
 * 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?**

ENTRY 6: 4-9-08 //Today I learned that men thought of women as inferior to men and all the men thought that women where good for was having kids and keeping them healthy.// //Today I didn't have any problems with finding anything, everything that I searched on the computer where good answers to the questions I was asking.// //There were no problems to overcome.// //Next I will research more information and hopefully find what I am looking for. I will also try to think of more skinny questions and more "thick" questions (not fat but not skinny....fit).//

 * 1. What have I learned today?**
 * 2. What problems have I had?**
 * 3. How will I overcome the problem(s)?**

ENTRY 7: 4-10-08 What have I learned today?** //Today I have learned how to search databases and I learned about some of the customs and what is considered right for women in ancient times.// //Today I had a little trouble finding what I needed from the databases.// //Tommarow when i get a chance to work on the databases again I will type in different names and try differnt ways to get the information that I need.// //Next I will search more of my questions and hopefully have better luck with them.//
