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

The research projects that i have done are The Louisiana Board Game and LA: The New Star in Hollywood in seventh grade. In 8th grade I have done Labyrinth: A Web Quest and the Museum Exhibit.


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

Research to me means searching the internet for a specific topic and taking notes on it.


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

A success project i think would be the labyrinth. We actually got to build a labyrinth and it's being used.

10 points A good research project should involve looking to other sources besides the internet. Keep that in mind.
