Day 29

May 5th

I finally started my essay in class. I finished the introduction. It may not sound a lot but I always find the introduction the hardest to write. I wrote about why egypt was considered a civilization, and what the rest of the essay would be about. I think I worked well and used my time wisely. I maybe could have accomplished more, but I am still satisfied with my work. My mind did switch off sometimes because I was thinking of space camp other than that everything was good.

Day 28

May 4th

I decided to work on my plan for my essay in class. Mr. Sparks recommend that we should it. my plan was now more detailed than before since i wrote bullet points for each characteristic. I think I worked well,but Idid not feel like I accomplished much because other people have already finished their first paragraph while I didn't even  start.  At least I have a very good plan which I think will help me allot in many different ways. I am satisfied with my work and all that I have  accomplished., although I was distracted while I was working by someone. 

Day 27

May 3rd

Today we were going to start the actual essay. Mr.Sparks explained the basic points and his restrictions on the essay. He was quite strict about them and he wasn't going to accept an excuse. We first started with a plan. The class was told that if you have a well organized and structured plan, your essay would be better than if you had a sloppy plan. That helped work harder because I don't want an unorganized essay. I decided to type my plan if there were any changes I could change by pencil. My plan was detailed and it was organized, but I felt that I could organized it a bit more. I didn't have any more time to change or organize my plan more so I decided to complete it at home or next lesson. I wasn't fully satisfied with my plan, I should have thought of it more. I wasn't really focusing my mind sometimes got carried away with space camp because there was a discussion about canceling it. I also came late to class because I went to the classroom then I had to go back up to the lab (waste of time).

Day 26

April 30th

The class was told that today was the last day for research in the lab. It was a tense class for me because I still felt behind and lost. I tried to answer my guiding questions. I was able to but I couldn't get the answer to 2 questions from social class I have been working on those question for about 2 weeks and I still couldn't find the answers. I worked really well and focused allot. I guess when I am under pressure I work better and I think I worked well because I was taking my cast of in the weekend (happy mood). And luckily no one disturbed me like last lesson.  In my perspective  I think I that this lesson was the best lesson I had in all the lab. I was satisfied with the amount of work I accomplished but I still couldn't find the answer to the missing 2 guiding questions.

Day 25

April 28th

In class I didn't use the shortcut at all. I directly went to google which I thought would be easier to find information. I was right in a way because I could focus on one characteristic instead of reading a whole bunch and pick out the information seperately.  I googled about the Egyptian Religion and found quite allot of websites but they all basically had the same information. I was distracted a bit from some guy behind me (not going to say name), kept on fooling around and banging my foot int a bar. I did get some good notes and others were normal. I wasn't fully satisfied I think I could have done better if I focused a bit more.  At least I answered all my guiding questions for religion.

Day 24

April 27th

I arrived to class on time again and quickly went to the short cut. I focused on social class again. Surprisingly I didn't find much, so I decided to try something different this time. I went to ask. com and typed in some of my guiding questions but that was a waste of time. It didn't really give the answers I needed. So then I decided to try using youtube but that took to long to load. At the end I used brainpop. Brainpop was very brief and mentioned all the basics, so I didn't get much from it. Overall I think I worked well although I didn't get much information. Probably next lesson I would stick to googling. At least I know for next time. Overall I was satisfied with my final work. I didn't find the researching hard since there was a big choice of websites to choose.

Day 23

April 26th

Luckily I was in school for this lesson. I came into class on time surprisingly since I was late to most of the other classes. I quickly logged on to my account and directly went to the shortcut. I wasn't able to access them when I was absent, so I really needed to catch up. I focused mostly on social class because I felt like I didn't do well in it. I used most of the websites on the shortcut and I found them very useful. I think I worked really good since I just came to school and that my foot was hurting  a bit.  I worked really hard because I felt very behind then the rest of the class. I did not find lots of extra information, but the notes that I had were really good. When I looked over my work I found that they were to brief and that they should be a bit more detailed.
