//1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?// In 6th grade, I did a project on Buster Keaton.

//2. Based on these projects, what does research mean to you?// I think it means focusing on a topic and doing everything you can to learn all about that topic.

//3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative?// It's really frustrating when you can't find information about your topic and no matter how long you search you end up with nothing. This has happened to me a few times.


 * Teacher Response March 15**

Jeanne: I placed the gray line in for you. I am sorry that you had had frustrating research experiences. I am afraid that we all have. Do you have a plan for find the information that you may need in this project?

Your grade is 8/10.

The inspiration program was really great to organize my thoughts and it helped show me that i knew a lot more about my topic than i thought, yet there's more room to learn.

//Why I Chose This Topic & What I Know About My Topic://

I chose to learn more about cave art and the artifacts found in caves (especially at the Caves in Lascaux). I learned about the tools they used, things they would paint and sculpt, and what that painted areas were usually for. I have so much more to learn but that's the best i could do during class (my computer took 15 minutes to load everything)


 * Mrs. DaQuanno- How do i put those gray lines after i've entered my entry?*

 * Teacher Response March 16 - 20/20. To put in the gray line all you have to do is click on the line icon on the tool bar

Pre-notetaking activity (in class)
 * ENTRY4 03/16/07**

FAT QUESTION: **How did prehistoric man use art to communicate?**

SKINNY QUESTIONS: Which group of people contributed to the cave art in the Caves of Lascaux? How did they make their drawings? Why did they have so many paintings? Did they mean something? Did different tribes have different painting styles and meanings? Does the art have any religious meanings? When did the painting occur? What types of sculptures did these people sculpt? What materials did they use or prefer (bone, wood, stone?)? What were their instruments used for making the art? Where were the first cave paintings and artistic items found? When?

Reflections on Pre-Notetaking
 * ENTRY5 03/19/07**

Taking notes in class and making up questions about my fat and skinny questions came really easy for me. Once i got one question, the others came really easy and before i knew it i had about 15 questions. Some were irrelivant, so i had to delete them but i thought i came up with some great questions. Mrs. Goodall helped with my fat question and I can't wait to start my research.


 * Teacher Response March 20 Great topic! 20/20**


 * Teacher Response March 21 - Where is your entry number 6? 0/10.**


 * ENTRY6 03/20/07**

Today I started my research and it wasn't going very well. But i started to find more and more sites on my topic and it became easier. I think my topic won't too hard to research. I'll just have to see!


 * ENTRY7 03/21/07**

My researching went really well today. I found a great site! It has everything i could possibly need on ancient art. I discovered it at the end of class so I didn't get many questions answered but i could see all the answers right in front of me. it was great! i also think i found a good book for my topic, but i never got the chance to look at it.


 * Teacher Response - March 22 - good job! 10/10.**

ENTRY8 03/22/07 Today was once again very good with answering my questions. So far i have all my skinny questions answered, so now I need to incorporated those answers to figure out my fat question, "How did prehistoric man use art to communicate?" I also didn't get the chance to check out my book. Tomorrow I'll have to work on that.


 * Teacher Rsponse March 23 - Sounds good! 10/10.**
