Note Taking

Today I will begin Note Taking. I finshed my webliography on time as planned so I'm able to move on to the next assignment. I will begin looking through the articles I already printed out and read through them. As I'm reading through I will highlight information that answers my essential and foundation questions. Then I will put the information in my Notes documents.

Finishing Webliography

Today I will be finishing up my webliography. I only had two more articles to find which should not take me very long to do. So today I will finish my webliography and print out the articles.

Webliography

Today I will continue my webliography, I only need a few more sources and I'll be done. I should definitely get done by Thursday. I was able to get a lot of work done since I did not go on the New York trip. I really enjoyed going to Phibbs Conservatory and learning about the chocolate.

Webliography

Today I'll be continuing my webliography. I'm pretty much half way done with it so hopefully I should be done with it by the end of this week. It's getting a little bit tricky trying to find resources that answer specific questions. Most of the resources repeat information that I really dont need, just basic information. I guess I'll haft to really dig deep and see what I can find. I expected there to be a lot more information about this stuff.

Webliography

Today I will continue to work on my Webliography. I was able to get a pretty good start on it Friday being that I already had a few websites picked out. I will continue searching, printing, and completing my webliography.

Webliography

Yesterday I was not able to blog because the internet was acting up. But I did manage to get most of my Essential and Foundation Questions. I did not finish because I got stuck and did not know what other questions to come up with. But I did upload what I had done, and hopefully while I'm finding articles I will find some questions I had not thought of. I already have a few articles printed out in my folder that I would like to use for sure. Today I will start my webliography and finish up on my Essential/Foundation question later. I dont want to get behind. I will be using the citation machine at www.citationmachine.net

Essential and Foundation questions

I have been thinking about some questions for my graduation project. My project is more of a compare and contrast between the two mummification methods. My topic question is "Why is mummification so important and what types of methods are there?" I'm not for sure if that is going to be the exact question, but I will try to make it blend together into one question.

Key Terms

Today I worked on finding some important key terms. We needed a total of 10 terms so I did my research and picked what I thought were the most important. I also picked words that are usually mentioned frequently when talking about mummification.

My Topic

So I decided to go with Egyptology as my topic for my graduation project. I have also had an interest in their mummification process because Egypt is known best for just that. But what I'm planning on doing for my expertise is comparing/contrasting the embalming process for mummification in Egypt as well as in China. China's embalming process is actually way more impressing than Egypt's embalming process. Egypts mummies sort of look like just bones, but in China they know how to actually preserve skin, hair, even the tongue. I've been looking into resources and just researching information. I'm still a little shaky on what I could do as my action plan but hopefully I'll think of something. I actually found an Egyptian recipe I might like to make but I dont think it would be relevant to my topic.

Grad Project Idea's

I'm not for sure exactly what I want to do for my graduation project. I have some topics in mind but not sure what would be the best route for me to go. I have always had a passion about wanting to help others less fortunate (starving kids in Africa, the homeless, those suffering from illness's, etc.). But I feel like I should do something that I'm really really interested in such as Egyptology. I think both would be very good projects but I'm stuck. I'm starting to lean more towards doing something on Egyptology, but I still like the idea of doing something about those less forunate. Hopefully I know for sure by friday.
