In Class: Thursday Class Journal

How much time have I spent on my project so far?
By the end of tomorrow I will have spent around 8 hours on my project.  This includes class time (tuesday & thursday) planning out the rest of my project, mentor meeting, an interview with Tim Logue, writing my interview, research at the Public Library.  As of right now I would round to have spent 4 - 4 1/2 hours on my project so far this week.

What did you do that was hands on?
My interview with Tim Logue is my hands on process for this week... the same as last week... in my project, I think interviews are the most beneficial hands on I can do.  However, I will also be going to the library tomorrow to do hands on research.

What research did you do?
I have spent time planning the rest of my project out, and tomorrow is research day (even says so on my calender) I have an interview with Tim Logue, and will be doing research at the library.  I have also looked into contacting a local community member to interview as well as information about the Ithaca Journal I will be using later on in my project.

Did you meet with your mentor?
My mentor meeting is tomorrow, Thursday, after school.

Do you have at least 3 journal entries?
Yes I do :) They are mostly all in class reflections however.

Were you in class this week?  Did you have and use your journal?
Yes I was.  I use my blog, obviously, for my "journal".  I have a notebook I take notes in during class.

Do you think your fulfillment of WISE requirements was...?

Excellent.  I really have moved forward in setting up the rest of my project!  I have 3 very specific goals set for myself by the end of this project:
  • Interview 10 people within the community by my projects end.
  • Conduct a local survey of Ithaca (about the Waterfront Trail)
  • Write to the editor of the Ithaca Journal (and hopefully have it published!!!!!) 
What are your plans for next week?
My plans for next week include hopefully conducting another interview, more research at the library, and if for some reason I can not secure an interview next week, I will conduct the survey I want to do for my project.
