More Notes

Today I took more notes on my book that I got from the library. All I got accomplished today was writing down my foundation questions on my topic and adding notes that answer the question underneath. So far I got to full note cards completed and I'm going to do some more tonight as I finish reading my book. My mom even got interested in reading the book. That's kind of funny because my mom never reads anything lol. But that's all for today....

interview

Today i thought about the people i want to interview for my topic. so far, i got my choir director, who just happens to be a famous gospel recording artist and has his own gospel group, and another recording artist in Pittsburgh. i dont really know how this is going to turn out but i hope i have the opportunity to interview these people because it will be a huge part of my final project.

Foundation Questions

today, we thought of essiential and foundation questions for our projects. i think mine is the hardest one to do because it is such a broad topic and i am limited to the things i can do. i am trying to find an essiential question because i have like 4 foundations already.

April 30th

Well, today i completed an interest inventory that had about 25 questions on it. for the most part, i thought it help with this project, but i still have some research to do. then i picked the top 10 answers i thought would have a good chance of becoming a topic and posted them to my teacher's blog as a comment. after that i sat and talked to my friend toni t about stuff.

1st Blog

1.) I have heard that you have to have one in order to graduate. I know a couple of people who graduated that have completed their projects. I know some seniors who are doing their project right now.
2.) I know for a fact that I want to do my project on music. I just dont know exactly what I want to do yet.
3.) My biggest concern is that I may not fininsh everything required on time. Im scared that I wont complete evertything to get a good grade.
