1. I think the webbing process helped/did not help me find a topic because I think the process did help me because it helped me narrow it down to what i wanted to do my project on. I then was finally able to decide after reasearching the topics and seeing what topic had the most and most interesting facts.

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 5: 3-18-07**

Yes the pre notetaking sheet helped me focus on my topic, it also helped me understand what i would be searching and learning about. I found it easy to make a fat question from my skinny question because i had alot of skinny question related to each other. I took those skinny questions and made it my fat question.
