Presentations

For the past three days we have been listening to each others presentations of our graduation projects. I went first yesterday and got some good feedback about my topic.

Essential/Foundation Questions (Contiued)

I worked on my foundational question and my ten essential questions.

Essential/Foundation Questions

On Friday i did not blog because i was had to work the entire class on my Webliography. I did get most of it done but because i was not here two days last weeks because i was on field trips. I got the weekend to finish it so i took it home and got it done. All ten MLA cited websites and all ten annotations are done.
Today we talked about what essential and foundation questions were for our project. They are questions that are going to keep are project together and help us make it the best product available. I got some questions done today and i will post the final copy or draft of them.

Webliography

Ms. Fossum started out the class today by going over a few annotations with us and showing us what good annotations look like and what bad annotations look like. Then i continued with trying to find my first ten websites that will help in my research for ways to conserve energy in your home. The once that was completed I edited my sample annotation so it could be my first annotation for my webliography. So, as of today I have one annotation done for my webliography and I have until Friday to finish the other nine.

Sample Annotation

Today I got my project idea accepted, and continued researching websites for my topic. Then the second half of class I wrote a Sample Annotation for my Webibliography.

Finished Collage

Today in class Ms. Fossum explained what we needed to do for are next step of the project which is the Webilography. I had to finish up my photoShop collage though because I was not yet finished with it.

Collage Work

In class today we worked on our collage, but i didn't finish it because i was absent yesterday and did not get a chance to work on it.

Letter Of Intent

I completed my letter of intent to Mrs. Fossum today where i gave my proposal of what my idea of making of a energy conservative house design. Then i began to get started on the next assignment of PhotoShop meets Graduation project where i have to make a visual poster of your project. Ill probably finish that by either Monday or Tuesday.

Project Links

When we got into class today Mrs. Fossum has us find three links to sites that go along with our topics and put them in our new project links for this blog. When that was complete I made sure that My Interest Inventories were in and then started my letter of intent for my Graduation Topic.

Past Projects

yesterday we heard from some seniors that told us about what they did for there projects and the challenges they faces through there project. They also told us about what the presentation is going to be like and for me that was very helpful because I had no clue what it was going to be like and now i think i will be more prepared for when it comes time for me to present.
