Journal+for+French+Revolution

1-17-11 Today we got together as a group and started our search for research and got a lot more than we thought. Sara and I worked on the computer looking up secondary sources online, while Win found information on the start of the French revolution from books in the library and Reilly emailed more professors from a few more colleges to get their feedback as well as ideas. In our research we were able to find a copy of the Declaration of the Rights of Man which has already been extremely helpful with our project. With our little knowledge of the Estates we were able to expand on that from our research by finding out the other representing groups during this time period and what their part was in the revolution.

1-18-11 In Class today we took a lot of great notes that really help my group and I out on the French Revolution and how it became to evolve. This information I believe will be a big part of our presentation in the end.

1-19-11 Today I have not done much work on this project, because I have been working on my rewrite for my satire essay for Mr. Pharr. :(

1-21 & 22-11 SAT!!!!!!!!

1-23-11 Today we sent emails back and forth to each other about the upcoming week and how we should tackle our goals and what each task for everyone will be.

1-24-11 In our group today we got a large amount of work completed on our project. We went through step by step of the beginning of the French Revolution and made sure that what we were talking about was really necessary to have included in our presentation. Here are some pictures we have so far...

1-25-11 Today most of our group work was from the note taking in our class today. We got a better understanding on what is needed to be talked about and to which years and details. Since our whole group wasn't able to get together today, Sara and I talked in the library for a while about what are next plans on with our research as well as the notes that we took.

1-26-11 Today we got together as a group and we were able to go throught the rest of our notes and made bullet points for what we are planing to talk about and then connect each bullet point to a picture that ties into what we are talking about.

1-27-11 Today Sara, Reilly and I (WIn was M.I.A) got together in the library and read through some of our research to get ideas of what questions we are going to ask the professor. Once we came up with four questions we got a better idea of how all the information is going to fall into place. Also today us three talk about the our goals that we have been trying to meet and how everything is coming along. We have made apart of our homework to keep reading our research and share with the group what we have found.

1-28-11 Today was a great help for our project. We were able to get done and plan a lot more than we thought we could. We found videos and some great pictures that are going to work perfectly with what we want to accomplish. Also we were able to plan what are plans are for working on this project over the weekend, we are going to work through class (if possible) and since its last period we are going to keep working a little bit later and get some of the video recording started. here are some pictures we have added .

1-29-11 Today we got together and worked during our class as well as after getting recording done and more of our layout written out. We worked well with time and got a great amount done, we are feel really ready for this project.

1-30-11 Today I took a break from this project and instead went to ms. wolfs house for brunch then mama citas for lunch then fired up, it was a lovely break.

1-31-11 Today we got together in the library and catch up with what we have and what we need to do. Also Sara and I went to Mr. Bonner's office were we talked to him about an interview that we are going to do with him tomorrow at 7:00 pm. Also we decided that I will be in charge on the work cited and getting all the information that we have looked at as well as used. In the end of our work we watched the video to see how everything is coming and talked about little changes that we might want to do.

2-1-11 Today Sara and I had a very successful meeting with Mr. Bonner. We talked about the French Revolution and each aspect our project focuses on. During our meeting we were about to film him in an interview style, I'm really sure that the interview will fit nicely with our pictures that we have found as well as the topics we are explaining in our video.

2-2-11 Today we didn't do much as a group. We talked for a few minutes about how Win has set up interviews for when he goes home and we are going to send him the questions that we think will be the most beneficial. Also we talked about our interview with the boys since they weren't there, so we told them how Mr. Bonner's office was really dark but we can just edit the video and just use his voice another narrative. Other than that I've been working on my short paper on Ottobah.

2-3-11 Today I have mainly been focusing on our work cited. I've been getting all the research together as well as creating citations for each and everyone.

2-8-11 Today finally after the long weekend, we as a group some of us are feeling pretty good of where we are in this project and then others feel the total opposite. So today we met up and we talked about what we have planed for the last week as well as how we are going to get it all done. Your notice for our group I believe was a really good update because I believe that it helped our group get our heads together more and focus more on what we need to do finish. Editing I know is going to be our main concern for this last week.

2-9-11 Today we did not do any working together. This last week we know what we need to get done, so we are all working on our own to achieve our own goals and then we are going to collaborate this weekend.

2-10-11 Today my main focus is to try and finish the work cited all together. That including research, music files, and pictures. Its going to be a rough night!

2-11-11 Today during the school day Sara and I got a good amount of last minute work Win found for us to do. What we did was took some bullet points and converted them not only into complete sentences but also a story board for the French Revolution. As a group we have a plan for what we are going to do during each day of the weekend also Saturday class period if you happen to give it to us, which would be AMAZING! Our plan is not only to finish the little fixings that we believe that need to be done as well as getting together and working as a whole on finishing this project up.

2-12-11 Today was our last day of hard work. We all did our own little tasks that we altogether believe needed to be done. For example, I worked on the work cited while sarah worked on the script and Reilly and Win worked on the video.

2-13-11 Today was fun of excitement... not. It was full of stressing out making sure that we have everything done. Even though we did it was still a double check time making the last few adjustments to our overall project not only to the video but the script and work cited.
