1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done? Mainly in my past social studies classes is were I did my research. In six grade we research how they wrote letters to each others in the Civial war. In seventh grade we research the Freach and the spainsh.

2. Based on these projects, what does //research// mean to you? It means you have to brainstorm a lot and research a little each day then you answer all the questions you have on your topic.

3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative? In social studies last year we had to research the french and their culture and what they did to make their society work it was not to much fun for me.

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?

The pre-notetaking sheet helped me keep my ideas in order and it helped me to think of some great questions to complet the project. I had to think hard to find a brod enough question so that it didn't just have one answser to it, so it would have numerus answers. It took time but everything worked out.
