Process Journal Completed || Items Completed || Thoughts: || a book in the library, and now I know! I also learned how to use the library's database. This is going to be extremely helpful to the project because it will help me to find specific sources that I am going to need! || the websites the school provides || Now I know where to find reliable internet information! I also found out what some of my classmates are planning on choosing for their topics! I think I have decided to do my project on personal health. || We were asked to buy our lit circle books || I am still confused about the criteria and characteristics. I am so excited to start literature circles, because I have never done them before! We researched more in the library today. I finished three FAQ-I sheets! They took forever, but I have so much information to use for my project. ||
 * Date
 * 9/19 || Went to the computer lab to learn how to find information in books and other resources || This helped a lot. I was unsure of how to find
 * 9/21 || Went to the computer lab and learned how to find information on the internet through
 * 9/26 || Found a diary entry and an article from a professional journal in my field || I did not exactly understand what the purpose of this was until we got to class. It showed us common information that is used in each of these genres. It will help us create our own projects. We are also practicing with finding the criteria and characteristics. I am still confused about this. ||
 * 9/28 || I learned to fill out FAQ sheets || Although it was hard to get started, I feel as if the FAQ sheets will be very helpful in completing this project! This is definitely going to help me with the research portion of my project. ||
 * 10/5 || Found one genre from the FQI sheet and three examples and learned to derive criteria and characteristics
 * 10/12 || Learned to revise our first genre || This was super helpful. I was able to improve my genre and help others to make theirs better too! My first genre is going to be a diary entry. I have decided this is how I am going to connect all of my genres! ||
 * 10/17 || We kept working on revisions || I was able to get different perspectives from many classmates about my genre and project ideas! Some people reviewed their first genre again, but I did another one. I did an interview. It is about a girl who was once bulimic, but is now recovered. My classmates said it was good, but suggested to change some of the fonts! ||
 * 10/24 || Today we revised our second genre || The peer revisions are beneficial because you get outside input on how to improve your work! Today I worked on revising my third genre. It is a brochure on a treatment center for people with eating disorders. I need to fix the layout and colors. ||
 * 10/31 || We revised our third genre || Not only did my group help me proof read, they helped me to make it more appealing to the audience. This is the fourth genre that I have edited. I did a magazine cover. My group said it was very realistic. They did not know what to change! I feel like I am improving on my genres. ||
 * 11/07 || We revised our fourth genre and looked at "smart moves" || I feel like the smart moves part of class really helps. What helped me the most was when we discussed alignment. I never knew some of the information we discussed. My fifth genre still needs some work. I feel like it is not appealing to the audience. We are almost done our projects! ||
