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.
