My Sixteeth Refelction March 3st 09

Today was one of our last days in the library. Mr. Sparks said that this week will be our last, so I had to get a lot of information. Lucklily I came to the library earlier and and got the encyclopedia I need. I found loads of information on Government & Law which really helped me. I was talking a bit on my table, but I still managed to write up 6 cards today. I have 34 in all, and I hope to write even more. I will try and work my hardest next lesson as it is the last.

My Fifteenth Reflection March 30th 09

Today we went back to the library to do some more research. Mr. Sparks said that today would be one of the last days that we had to work on in the library so I tried to do more. The encyclopedias really helped this time, because I found out about more Religion, Government & Law and Education. I wrote down 1 note card for each one of those characteristics. I talked a bit at the beginning of the lesson but I still was satisfied with my work.

My Fourteenth Reflection March 29th 09

Today we went back to the library to do some more research. I have used most of the books except the encyclopedias. There are 4 sections to the encyclopedia, I need to write about Government and Law, unfortunately the books with those two in them were being used. I think I worked well today, apart from the talking. I finished 3 note cards today and hope to do more next lesson.

My Thirteenth Reflection March 26th 09

Today, we went back to the library to do some research again. I used an encyclopedia today, it had loads of information that I didnt have before. It had 4 volumes, I looked through the first 3, it has a lot of information. I finally got a lot of information on the government and also more on education. I finished writing 3 note cards today. I talked a bit today, this put me off. Next time I hope to write more. But overall I was satisfied with my work.

My Twelfth Reflection March 24th 09

Today, we went back to the library for some research. I went to the library earlier in break because I though I had gone through every book about Ancient Rome. Fortunately I found 2 that I had not read. They had heaps of information, mostly about Education but it really helped. I found out a few new facts about schooling in Rome as well. I worked well today and didn't talk that much. I completed 3 note cards. At the end of the lesson I found 4 encyclopedias on Rome, I will use them tommorow and hopefully get more information.

My Eleventh Reflection March 23rd 09

Today, we went back to the library to do some research. Today I made progress, I found 2 books I had not used before and they had some information I had not yet read. Our group was talking a bit but we still managed to do some work. I finished writing 3 note cards today. I think I need to work on talking less so I can make some more note cards. The only problem now is that I think I've used every book on the Romans!

My Tenth Reflection March 22nd 09

Today, we went on with the research. I wanted to get more on Education today because I only had 2 cards on that characteristic. In the first place where we were sitting, we were forced to move by Mr. Sparks because we were talking, this was not a good start. After we went to a different table. I worked efficiently. I had 4 note cards, 1 about Government and 3 about Education. I could have worked better if I had not talked in the beginning. Next time I will work more efficiently.

My Ninth Reflection March 19th 09

Today we did some more research in the library. I had a little trouble today because: The place where we were seated at first, senior students came and started talking so loudly that we had to move. This put me off a bit ,as I wanted to concentrate more . After we moved, I searched for a book that had information about Government and Law as I did not have much about that. I had found a book and I wrote 3 note cards about it. I could have worked better today, but we were talking occasionally on our table and other people kept coming to our table.

My Eighth Reflection March 17th 09

Today we went straight to the library and we started on our research. I found some new books on Romans and I was determined to get some more information. I first started looking for Government and Law, because I only had 1 note card about it. I found a book with loads of information which really helped me. I worked better today, because I finished writing 5 note cards today. I hope to do even better next lesson.

My Seventh Reflection March 16th 09

Today we went back to the library to do some research. Today I sat next to someone I would not talk to as much as yesterday because I needed to do some work. I did not talk much this lesson which was an improvement. I used new books to get my research done and wrote 3 and 1/2 note cards about religion, government & Law and Education. I could have improved this lesson if I had read faster and hadn't taken so much time choosing the book with the right information.

My Sixth Reflection 15th March 09

Today, we went to the library and we started out research on the Ancient Civilization we were going to do. I had chosen Ancient Rome instead of the Ancient Indus Valley Civilization because there was more to write about. First off, I did not start well because I was talking with my friends. After we got separated, I worked better. I finished writing 2 note cards about Religion and Education. I could have done better if I hadn't talked at the beginning.

My Fifth Reflection 12th March 09

Today we went to Multi Media Lab 4 and we created this blog. In this blog we have to write our reflections. We also created a new link on our class wiki, so we can link it to out blog. I used time wisely here because I finished creating the link in the wiki and I created the blog, as well as writing the first 2 refelctions on the blog in class.

My Fourth Reflection 10th March 09

Mr. Sparks was back today. Today we learned on how to summarize out work. First we read an example then we read the summary and bullet point for our Power Point Presentation. Then we had o read a script ourselves and summarize it. I used this time well as I finished my summary and I finished writing my bullet points.

My Third Refelction 9th March 09

Today, I got my Process Journal. In the Process Journal we had to stick 6 little folders and write titles on them. We had to write: Introduction, Religion, Education, Government & Law, Conclusion and Bibliography. Then we had to write down our questions on the little folder that said the characteristic. I used this time well as I wrote all my questions and wrote my name in the front of the book.

My Second Reflection 8th March 09

Today we went to the library and we learned on how to make a bibliography using EasyBib. First we typed the contributors and then the name of the book. We also wrote the publication code, city and the year the book was published. this information can all be found on the retro page. I was talking a little bit through the explanation but I still understood what was going on. Then we searched through books and looked for an ancient civilization that looked interesting. I chose Ancient Indus Valley but I might change my mind.

My First Reflection 5th March 09

Well, this is my first reflection so far in this project, we have not done much. we have done this so far: We have chosen 3 of the 6 characteristics as a class and write down questions. The 3 characteristics we chose as a class are: Art & Architecture, Government & Law and Social Class. We are only allowed to use 2 out of these 3 characteristic for our individual project. We finished writing down the questions. I think that I did not work my hardest this lesson because I only said 4 questions. Next lesson we had to write down questions about the 3 characteristics we chose. I chose Religion, Government & Law and Education. I wrote down 9 questions for each characteristic. I think I worked well this lesson because I finished writing the reflection and the questions.
