Today i started writing my second paragraph which was about my second characteristic religion. The first thing i did was spread out my cards for religion and i organized them. After organizing my cards i made a plan for how I'm going to write my paragraph. When i started writing my paragraph there were a lot of information so i had to remove a lot of sentences to make the essay fit the word count. Mrs. Korbatits told us that by this lesson we should at least finnish our second characteristics and thankfully i did, i thought i wouldn't finnish because i started a day late but i worked hard and really focused so i accomplished my goal.

Today i started writing my second paragraph which was going to be about my 1st characteristic which was ancient Roman jobs. The first thing i did was i took all my cards for my characteristic jobs and i organized them. After i did that i made a plan of how i was going to organize the cards to make a paragraph, i started writing my paragraph. The paragraph was easier to write than the one before because i had all the information in front of me.

Today we started writing our essays. The whole class started yesterday but i was absent so I had to catch up. The first thing was i planned my introduction paragraph. Then when I was done planning i started writing my paragraph. I had to change it a lot because when ever i wrote something and then read it again it didn't sound very good but finally i wrote a really go introduction paragraph.

Today we went to the lab to work on the online resources and on the internet. I found a really good website : ( http://www.crystalinks.com/romeducation.html) that had a lot of good information about Ancient Roman education. I still need to find some more information about my characteristic education, but the problem is that this is the last day.

" What subjects/topics were learnt?" and " How were they taught ". all in all today was a good day but i still have to work at home to find more information about my charcyteristic education.

We working on the online resources this lesson. I just found out that we just have 3 or 4 more days of researching left. We have 2 more lessons on the online resources then one mor on the internet and then the final day we start working on the plan for our research paper. Today I found a lot of good information, it was a great online resource called Britanica Online http://school.eb.co.uk/. I found a lot of good information about education and a little about religion. The research question I was working on for education was "Who went to school?", "What were the subjects/topics learnt?" and "who went to school?". The research question i was working on for religion was "Is there more than one religion in the country?". This online resource was very good and i hoping to use it again and tey to use the other online resources as well as this one, I'm hoping I find a lot of good information in them.

Today we were working on the online resources, I was working on my charachteristic jobs. The research question I was working on was ' What were the jobs' and 'How long did they work?'. I found a lot of good information about jobs in ancient Rome. I'm finding it difficult to find information about the education in ancient Rome. The websites that I find usually have a lot of information about religion mostly then jobs. I hope that next lesson I find a good website that has good information about education in ancient Rome.

Today we didn't go to the library we went to the multimedia lab to start working on the online resources. For me I think that the books are more helpful then the online resources. In the beginning i thought it would be easier to do the online resources but now I know that the books are much more helpful and much easier to use than the online resources. Thankfully we have one more day at the library so we can research about the books on thursday.
