Week 6 - What should I be doing...???

At this point, you can use the following list as a checklist of what you should have completed so far on your project:

1. You have a solid topic
2. You've developed your Essential and Foundation Questions
3. 10-15 Key Terms and definitions are a gadget on your Blog
4. Your collage is a gadget on your Blog
5. "Did you Know...?" statistics and/or Unique Facts are posted on your Blog
6. You've turned in your Webliography

Now, we are turning our attention to writing a proposal and trying to lay out the answers to 3 major questions:

1. What is your project/What is the focus of your project?
2. Why are you doing this project? Why did you pick this topic? What do you hope to learn, show, or accomplish with this project?
3. What will your project look like in the end?

Ongoing things that you should be doing:

1. Blogging (what's happening good/bad with your project?)
2. Note taking - this should be the major focus to find the answers to your Foundation Questions - use the template, note-taking rubric...
