im getting somewhere.

Today Ms. Savido talked about our essential questions. We were told that soon we should all have one. Right now, I have no essential question, actually right now, i don't even have my resources done.

I don't have either of these done because I just got my new topic at the end of class on Wednesday, and started the work first thing in class on Thursday.

Today I also continued to research my topic. I've been trying to explore the Internet and find good, and detailed websites about my subject. So far, I have about 6 sources.

My next step is to find my last 4 sources.
Then mail them to Savido.
While I do this, I'm going to be trying to figure out a essential question.

Photojournalism (PJ)

Today I researched more about photojournalism (pj).
I'm learning alot of new things and this is getting very interesting.
right now I am working on my key terms, and my websites.
Because I just started working and researching about PJ, I do not have as many vocabulary words, and have very few websites.
but the ones I do have so far, are extremely helpful.

Photojournalist, dont write the report, they capture it. Alot of photojournalist are take a lot of risks and put their lives in a lot of danger.
Other photojournalist though, like to keep it simple. Some just take wedding pictures, others take family pictures, and then theirs those who just pictures of the problems in their city, or neighborhood.

FINALLY!

Today I found my new topic!
I am doing Photojournalism.
Im planning on going to college for Journalism, so maybe this could aslo help narrow down what my "dream job" will be.
First what I have to do is erase my key terms and websites important for poetry, and start all over with my project.
Next, I start my research.

so

ok im lookin stuff up to make a decision on my project
but its not going so good but
i'll get it

i hate this

well i got 15 vocab words
but i dont think its enough.
as my project grow im going to end up with tons of key terms.

i know what my project is about.
its about poetry.
but...i dont know what my main topic or what im doing dealing with poetry.
i dont have a specific thing to do yet with poetry.

i hate this!

...what next?
oh yeah the webliography.
i'm lost with that too.

ok

today i found important key terms
im still looking for more
im getting there, i think

blah..

first i starteed off with the key terms
i found 39 words that are very important and people should know while reading or writing poetry.
im going to make my list smaller i just have to research and see which words are more important.
nothing very big today.
its taking forever though.
its very boring.

step by step

ok, so i looked up some some websites.
so far, i have been able to find definitions about poems and a few other things, but im still in the process of looking for the who, when, where, and why.
i already know my reasoning for enjoying poetry, but my reason may not be the same reason for every other writer or reader.
i dont think im going to be able to find the first poem or the person who wrote it, so im going to have to expand my thoughts and ideas on that subject.


today in class i listed more links.
some go to sites with information about poetry, and one goes to a website full of poems that teenagers wrote.
im still doing research, but im a bit lost and confused.

oh well..

im just going to do poetry
i write it
i read it
thats what im going to do

we got our key terms paper rhing today
thats one of the next steps
research

sucks..

i got to talk to savido
i dont know what im going do im stuck
writing poetry
music lyrics
and....i need something better

im lost and have no idea what to do
im sitting here trying to figure something out but its not working
i need to think of something and soon

changed..

ok i changed my mind all over again
im not writing music,
thats a subject right now that i cant figure out on what im going to do with it or what
so im back at the drawing board.
i think im going to go crazy!

ok well i have to do it on something i love or im going to hate it.
one thing i love is writing and reading poety.
thinking....could i do a project on that...?..how..?

okayy

so im looking up information
right now
im getting ready to work on the

• who
• what
• when
• where
• why

any advice on my project, please comment

almost there

ok, so here's whats going on.

my grad project is about writing music, thanks brandon for that idea.

im going to try and switch my electives into digital music

where i could learn the making of music

if that doesnt happen

i will...do research, and figure it all out on my own.

i write poetry and enjoy it so, it might be a little challenge but i can make it work

NEXT

im going to have to find an action plan and a way to get involved with music and the community

i will also create a few songs myself and include them in this action plan

in some way.

no this does not mean i will be singing them

im to chicken to do that!

but maybe i can have someone else sing them

but im not sure.

im still thinking..?

Thinking..

Today I narrowed my topics. The topics that I picked are

• music


• writing (poetry)

These two topics are a very big deal. They mean more the just reading or listening.

Writing is a very powerful thing. When you write, there has to be emotion, and meaning. Writing can be so inspirational. Writing shows what kind of person you are without even having to tell about yourself.

Music, is so much more then a really good beat. Music takes time, just like writing. You have to create the song(lyrics), which i think is the best part about music. Then you have to connect a perfect beat. There is so much meaning and so much work with music.

I have a huge passion for both writing and music.

I'm trying to decide on which topic to do. Maybe, I can do a combination of the two???
