BLOG- Journal Entry
Day/Date: Tuesday 20 April 2010

Today I had a very productive WISE lesson!

I wrote a timeline for my project of what should be done by the end of each term so that I keep on top of my WISE project. It was good writing up a timeline as now I know that I do not have much time to comlpete the project and that I have a lot of work to do. After writing the timeline I also feel more organised and I understand the project more clearly.

Some other things that I did today:-

• I thought I should maybe make a website (a blog page) instead of making a book as it would be easier, I could edit it more easily and a larger group of people in the community could view my project. I could still make the book for the junior school, however, making a website might be enough. I will see how I go with time (depending on weather I have time to do a website and childrens book) I will ask Ms Leeson next lesson if I should do both or just one.
• Amy McIntyre and I also came up the idea of doing a community activity one day at school in a lunchtime. Eg. We could have a trivia or quiz day at lunctime. We could maybe do this community activity together and then also do our seperate main and major projects- mine a website and hers a video.
