Entry #7

Today my plan was to make a total of 18bookmarks and gather data on my resarch question.
I created 18bookmarks and took some notes on the data that I gathered through the research.
What I did today helps me because the bookmarks and data that I have gathered can be used to recall importand information and events so that I can use those information on making my movie.
Next time I plan to make 22bookmarks or more, and also gather important infromation on my research question.

Third Entry (answers the seven ?s)

Today I had to come up with an idea of my final product.
I have decided to make a movie on the first hours of D-Day.
I chose to make a movie because nothing visually shows the answer to my question better than a movie.
The movie will be an estimated 15mins long. It will follow a platoon of soldiers during D-Day. It will show them landing on Normandy Beach and face against the German defences.
By making a movie I will gain knowledge and mastery of my subject. I can justify this because before making a movie I would first need to know everything about my subject.
The first steps of making the movie will be to research on the Normandy Inviasion and gather important data and pictures.
During the first few weeks I will come up with a cast and a script for the movie.
The Weeks after that would be spent taping the actual movie.
The last phase would be to edit the movie and create the final product.
Right now my next action for this project will be to create a script.

Entry #2

Today my plan was to think of an idea for my research project.
I decided to research on the very first hours of D-Day, when the American soldiers first step foot on Normandy Beach.
I came up with a question for my research: What kind of defense did the American soldiers face when they first steped on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day?
Coming up with the research question will help me gather research to answer the question.
My next action is to come up with an idea of the final product and to research.

First Entry

My plan was to get started on my research project.;
Today I created this blogger account and also made a delicious account.
With these accounts I can blog every progress and bookmark my sites for this project.
Next time I plan on obtaining an idea of what im going to research on and research.
