1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?** In the past I have done a few research projects. In 6th grade I did a project on Babe Ruth, in 7th grade I did a project on The Impacts of the French in Louisiana, and in 8th grade I researched steroid use in baseball for speech class.

Normally it means a bunch of work for nothing. The teachers give us all these rules that are suposed to help us and they never do, all the rules do is give us much more work for no reason.
 * 2. Based on these projects, what does //research// mean to you?**

The last project I had to do research for was speech. I gave a speech on Steroid policys in Major Leauge Baseball. This at the time was very publicized event so there was a lot of information about it. This was a positive expierence. This projet was good beacause there was enough easily accessible information.
 * 3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative?**

1. I think the webbing process helped/did not help me find a topic because: I guess it did. I thought it helped me eliminate a few choice but I had already decided what I wanted to do for my project.

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 3/16/07**

The sheet helped me find the direction of my project. Before I was unsure of exactly where I wanted to go from my origonal topic, now I do. Most of my questions could be answered both ways, I thought it was easy to think of the questions.
