Day 31

Thursday 7th Of May 09 - Journal Entry

I have finished the entire essay. I have overall 1800 words. When we come back to school after week without walls, I will edit my essay so it will be 1500 words or maybe a little less so it will make some sense. I will also check that I did not type in first sentence and I will follow the rubric to see it I am writing the essay correctly and amazingly or not. Some other students were surprised when I told them that I am finished with the essay and they also said I shouldn't rush. I think I should slow down a bit and try to read my essay over and over again to see if it makes sense or not.

Day 30

Tuesday 5th Of May 09 - Journal Entry

Today I wrote overall 1450 words. I took my time because I was checking over and over how many words I have and if I spelt them correctly. I finished writing the introduction, about the first characteristic, about the second characteristic and a little about the third and final characteristic. On Thursday, I think I will just focus on the the third characteristic because writing the conclusion not in first person ( I, I'm , My , Etc..) is going to be really hard because in all the essays I have written, I never did tried writing an essay without I, I'm and My.

Day 29

Monday 4th Of May 09 - Journal Entry

Today I wrote 990 words ! :O I think it was a lot for one day of writing the essay an re-checking  it. I probably worked really hard because I was partly mad and because I wasn't sitting in with a group of other people. I was sitting alone. I think if I sit alone for the rest of the project, or at least until Thursday, I will be done with the project by then. So many people said that they were taking their time writing the essay but I think they shouldn't because we never know when Mr Sparks would want us to hand our assessment in.

Day 28

Sunday 3rd Of May 09 - Journal Entry

Today we were in a different lab. I think it was a waste of time in the labs. Nearly everybody was not using the computers. They were all just sitting in the table and planning their essay. I think we shouldn't have wasted 1 hour planning it because it took be half and hour or maybe less to plan the essay. I kept on thinking of an idea or two every so often but then I would realize its stupid and scribble it out. For the rest of the period I just sat on the chair and was very very quiet. I think I did a good job for completing the planning and I also think that tomorrow, I will be starting my essay.

Day 27

Thursday 30th Of April 09 - Journal Entry

Today, Mr Sparks was absent and Mr Sweeny was our substitute. If you ask me, when Mr Sweeny was here everybody was so loud and when normally Mr Sparks is here, everybody if often very very VERY quiet and would not dare to make a noise. I looked up the ancient Egyptian religion and I finished for the day 1 card and a half because it was hard not writing down something that I already wrote on a note card. By next week on sunday, we will be writing our essays, or I think planning the essay. Some people were saying they needed more time on the internet but I still think we had enough time.

Day 26

Tuesday 28th Of April 09 - Journal Entry

Today was really loud in class. I think it was because Mr Sparks gave us our grades for the journal entry. The people next to me were saying that it was completely unfair and whatever. I could not focus at ALL today because there was so much noise. I just barley finished one note card. I wrote about Government and Law. I am starting to see that I have more Government and Law cards than I do for religion. Because the other people in my class who are researching about ancient Egypt, have a mere 5 cards while i have 16. And while I have 8 religion cards they have 30 or more. i am staring to think that next time, I will research more about art and architecture and religion.

Day 25

Monday 27th of April 09 - Journal Entry

I checked other websites like yahoo and ask and, to my surprise, I found more information. I found out that the ancient Egyptians were not forced to build the pyramid, they built the pyramid  eby their own will. I didn't think that the Egyptians were so religious. They thought if they had not memorized and worshipped all the gods, they will die or get hurt very badly. I think I will search on other search engines to find out more information so I won't have a problem writing the essay in a week from now because I am really nervous that I won't finish the essay or not hand it in on time or for another reason.
