9/22/10 What I was able to accomplish today was that I was able to select the topic that I wanted to. The topic that i selected was the person William Wallace.

What is exciting for me is that I am learning more about something that is very interesting to me.

9/24/10 Today, we learned in Doctor Sherry's class how to take many different styles of note-takin.

What I found interesting was that there are so many ways that I can take notes. No specific way is correct, and you can do it anyway you like.

9/25/10 I took notes on William Wallace today.

What suprised me was the fact that he was a noble man. I had always thought that he was just a common man. I guess watching Braveheart did that to me.

10/4/10 I learned how to make characteristics and critiques on genres.

What I found interesting is that there is a lot that goes into making a really good genre/

10/6/10 I completed so FQI sheets for William Wallace.

What I discovered is that there are a lot of Myths and legends that go along with the character of William Wallace.

10/14 I came up with some ideas for my genres.

I found it interesting that there are so many possiblities that I can use for my multi-genre project. There is more than one right way to figure out how to do certain things and that really excites me.

10/17 I finished two more FQI Worksheets for my Projects.

What is disappointing about William Wallace is that there are not a lot of specific dates for him. There is nothing concrete that says that Wallace did this thing on this day. So it makes it harder to give really concrete evidence on him.

10/18/10 I completed 10 FQI sheets for my multigenre project.

I am suprised by just how much I learned about this person, and how much people are inspired by him.

10/25/10 I just completed my first project for my project.

I think that it is really nice that there are people willing to critique me, and give me an honest opinion about my piece.

10/31 I completed my second genre for my project.

What suprises me is that in just very little ways i can show people so much about my character. 11/1/10 What I did was I got some good feedback for my genre 2

It was really nice to be able to get back some feedback from my peers. It was really nice to get back some honest opinion.
 * Genre 1 Oringinal || Revision || Explaination ||
 * In the town of Elerslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland was where... || Drop the was where || The was where was very redundant, and also was not necessary for the style of writing that i was using. ||
 * Let it be known that in the year of our Lord... || Add a comma between that and in || There is a break that comes between the that in the sentence, and the in. It makes sense to me that there is a difference and makes it look better. ||
 * Margret Crawford and Malcolm Wallace || place the comma between and and malcolm || Because there needs to be a clean break between the two words. ||


 * Genre 2 Original || Revision || Explain ||
 * Use of Lord three times || Use of the word Lord less || Because i believe that there is too much of a repitition of this word. if i can use that word less. it will make more sense and make it so much more effective. ||
 * between man and women || between man and woman || It is only one woman that is getting married not multiple women. ||
 * ,, || use only one comma || it makes sense to only use one comma instead of two. it is too much. ||
