thanks everyone.
and one more thing- how many entries do you have to do for your process log? havent started and am planning to make them all up in one sitting.
This year for the first time our teacher actually gave us a prepared log book with weekly entries, and each weekly entry is subdivided into sections. She felt that in previous years the students spent too much time decorating and not enough time actually recording the progress of their research and project. The section are:
Current readings/viewing/researching/investigating/interviewing
Reflecting/review of progress/problems and solutions/new directions
Major decisions
Brief Critical Comment about a historian that weve been reading which includes strengths/weaknesses of historian's interpretation, our challenges to the text, the methodology of the text, accuracy and reliability of the text incl use of evidence
Now, we are expected to fill these in weekly, thus there are approx 45 pages. However, she said that she understands if we dont fill them all in. In addition we have to hand in a lever arch folder with photocopied sources, highlighted, with pages of our own notes to accompany each text.
So, that's what is expected of our logs books.
