Process Journal My parents will be bringing me down a copy of the book "Shooter" later in the week. ||
 * Date || Items Completed || Thoughts: ||
 * 9/19 || Met in the computer lab to learn how to look up books, articles, etc. in the library. || Finding a book for class, research, and enjoyment wont be as nearly as confusing as it would have been, had I not learned this process. ||
 * 9/21 || Met in the computer lab to learn about how to find reliable information on the internet. || It was funny to see how just about anyone can mess with content online and start chain reaction rumors. I'll know to be careful about what websites I use for school projects as opposed to leisurely browsing the web. ||
 * 9/26 || What are some characteristics of a journal or diary entry? What components make it good? || Learning about the makeup of a diary or journal, and really breaking it down, helped me understand more of the mutligenre project. I'm now pretty familiar with what I will have to do when composing these items for my project in order to make them realistic and believable. ||
 * 9/28 || Met in the library to answer at least 2 FAQ sheets on our topics. || This method helped to get a better grip and understanding of our chosen research topics. ||
 * 10/5 || Picked a genre from our FQI sheets to compose. Order literature circle books! || I decided to choose a diary entry for my first genre. I think it's the best way to express one's feelings and see diabetes from a more emotional standpoint.
 * 10/12 || Practice revising Genre 1 & learning how to effectively make revisions || I was suprised at how much my peer review group admired my diary entry. They said that they could really feel all the emotion within. They suggested that I make it look more authentic- instead of just typed with a basic font. ||
 * 10/17 || Continued to make revisons on Genre 1 || Peer review went very well yet again. I gave my group good advice on their genres, and I received some more in return. We discussed our plans for our next genres. ||
 * 10/24 || Revised Genre 2 || I made a poem for this genre. My peers enjoyed the humor/positive outlook of a young child with diabetes, while noticing the wealth of informationwoven within the poem. Good peer review! ||
 * 10/31 || Revised Genre 3 || I have composed an interview with a famous type 1 diabetic, Nick Jonas. I used sources, and my knowledge of the Jonas Brother, to create a rather realistic interview. Peer review was good! ||
 * 11/7 || Revised Genre 4 || For this genre I have made a magazine cover (featuring Nick Jonas). I can use this as packaging and a way to present my previous information. I plan on making a flyer on world diabetes day (Nov. 14th) for my 5th genre. My peers thought the color scheme and design was great. They had no complaints & I explained how I composed this genre on Word. ||
