PURPOSE
In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.
The purpose of this project was to make a website based on Moral Courage. You were susposed to learn about what your group had chosen to do their site on. We were also susposed to learn how to make a site and make sure your not stealing others work. There was ways we learned on how to prevent on doing that (will talk about it later). We were susposed to choose a subject that had to do with Moral Courage. Then write 5 pages each about the subtopic you were in charge of. For example: Subject:: Global issues, Subtopic: Water Pollution. Things like that. Then make your own site. With profesional work on it. The site needed to be a good form and not contain any stolen work. Then submit the site.




WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what academic information or skills you learned or improved.
I improved on working with Dream Weaver and paraphrasing . Dream weaver is a feature on our computers, that spealizes on making sites like our DP's. And Paraphrasing is taking someones work and putting it in your own words. The first time we had Paraphrasing i had 10/10 so i think i did good on that. Information that i found out was more about the world's danger since we did Global Effects. Including: penguins, Seals, Sea turtles, Water pollution, and Global warming. I mostly focused on Water pollution and Penguins. And i learned about how it effects the animals and how it can be caused by Global Warming. Or the other way around. Which i can take into considerate and change my ways and help save the planet.
REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?
I liked working on dream weaver mostly on the proeject. And i liked this project actually alot because it was fun and educational. Which is what my school is based on. Project based learning. I was incharge of information concerning Water Pollution. Which wasnt to hard but could be complicated at times. Next time i think i would try harder to finish the page. I wouldnt like to say i didnt use my time wisely but i would prepare my self more. I think that this project was a way of us students learning about subjects by our selfs. Which is kind-of cool if you think about it.



WORK HABITS
Complete the following section about your work habits. How did you manage your time in and outside of class? What parts of the project were you responsible for? What strategies did you use when you had difficulty understanding or completing the project?
I think i did manage to do my time in and outside of class. Because i leaving around 5:45 and i got to work, in Ms.Interlandi's room during that time. I think my main diffuclty was having Justin in my group.Which didn't realy turn out to be a big problem. We settled our differences and worked well together and communicated well. I think i had a hard time submitting the actual site. Infact my whoel group did because the pictures werent uploading right. And it ended up being Thinkquest's issue not ours. Another difficulty was getting everyones page in exact order. Like penguins, seals, sea turtles, and coral reef ; all needed to be in the same format as each other.
ARTIFACTS
You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project?
Link : To the website.
Documents: My work ( paraphrasing)

Missing post #2
Book: Forever Ramona
I first stubbled onto this book when i was eight. And i still love it. It's about a girl named Ramona around the age of nine. She has an older sister named Beezus. This book has so much going on. Her uncles getting married. Her cat Picky dies and they burry him in their backyard. And to top it off, Mrs.Quimby is having a baby. I believe they named the baby Albie. This book has so many feelings and emotions put into it. Its only 182 pages. I say that because the font is kind of big and it features 3 drawn pictures or so. I dont read this book anymore. But i remember quite alot to have read it 3 years ago. Or 5 years ago. But this book is the best book ever and ill always keep it FOREVER. (ramona forever)

Final Post.

1. I think Melinda really is having a hard time. Heather even ditched her. How messed up could Heather possibly be. And her parents are blowing the issues out of porportion. And it's kind of sad that the only person that she can atually tell is Mr. Freeman

2. This has been the saddest part. Its offically true that Andy Evan's raped her under a tree at the party. But she snuck out the back and ran home. And when she can finally tell Rachel/ Rachelle. By writing notes in the library. She believes her then when she hears that its Andy Evans who did the evil thing she turns her back again.

3. How do you think Mr.Freeman will take it?

Speak post #2

1. Melinda is just a girl who's life isnt falling into place at the moment. Even though she tries it seems that nothing is happening. Her grades arent that great. And makes her parents argue. She has the idea that her parents would of been divorced if they didnt have her. And pizza seems to answer all the dinner problems they have. Melinda has never told her parents about the party. She has stated she was going to a friends and got home before anyone else did. But now she's afraid that everything that happened and the fact she even went will be revealed to the two people she doesnt even want to know about it. Shes starting to cut her self with paper clips. Not so good and she's a little clumsy like in class with the chisel. It hurt me when i heard that Mr.Freeman ripped his canvas. :[

2. Its real difficult to read about this. I think i found out who raped her. I think its this Andy guy. She seems to call him IT. I would too. She cant stand the fact of being around him. So she ends up running. Its tragic to hear about this and diffucult to have this happen.

3. Do you think the boy who raped her was Andy? Why?
