15-2-11------15th lesson

I am a little disappointed because I only got half of my goal done, not that I didnt try my best. I was only able to complete the plan although i did not start writing the introduction. Although I am at the stage were I am supposed to be. So its not so bad, all the students should have completed the plan today, which I did. I guess I am making progress.

14-2-11------14th lesson

Well, since I was absent the last lesson I needed to catch up to the work today. I got the plan sheet and started, planning. I have it almost completed except for a couple parts of the introduction and conclusion. So next lesson, i will probably finish that off, show mr.bonnalie and complete my introduction. Well, atleast i hope thats what will happen.

3/2/11-------12th lesson

Today was the last research lesson, and only today did I notice that I only had 2 more quetion to answer out of the 15. I felt very proud of myself and didnt worry one bit about if i had ebough information or not. The questions came into the category of social classes and religion. All my question are answered and now the essay is left.

1/2/11------12th lesson

I learned something today, I never want to be taught the Chinese way. You know how modern day punishment is detention. Ancient Chinese punishments was force to take a cold shower. I finished the boys education a week ago but couldn't find anything for the girls education in the library. SO I decided to finish it completely today. And that I did.

31/1/11-----11th lesson

YAY!!!! You wont believe what I accomplished today. Thanks to the website "http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/chinadynasties/g/0326096dynasties.htm", I filled out 2 whole blue cards on the six dynasties and it finally made sense to me. All of the six dynasties had a date of when they started and when they ended, IN ORDER. So I've answered the question, "what were the different dynasties?". Finally, I dont need to worry any more.

27/1/11------10th lesson

Finally saying goodbye to the library. That's right, today was the last lesson we spent in the library. But I have to admit i did get a lot of good information from the library, especially about the ancient Chinese religion and social classes. I focused about the social classes today. I basically added more information about the religious festivals and also the question "what was the difference between the rich and the poor?". And so far I can say that I am proud of were i am in the stage.

25/1/11------9th lesson

So....Nothing really different happened other than the last 8 lessons. I got the book, read the information, copied it down wrote the url and now Im writing my blog. The only different thing is that im sitting on a bean bag instead of a chair. Mr bonnalie told us that thursday is going to be the last lesson in the library and Im still trying to make up my mind if thats a good thing or a bad thing. All I know is that my dynasty problem is going to be solved by the internet. I was reading another book than the one i always look at today and noticed that there are a lot of funny chinese names. And that the chinese really respected their ancestors and basically made them apart of there religion and beliefs. 1 more lesson in the library and i can finally get work done.

24/1/11-----8th lesson

So we were back in the library today, and I decided to be a risk-taker, I decided to work on the dynasties. I opened up the same book Ive been using for the past week, looked up the dynasties and started reading away. Unfortunately, no progress made with the dynasties. Sure relying on the internet isnt a good thing, but what can you do when your stuck with the dynasties. I hope i have better luck next lesson.  

20-1-11-----7th lesson

Today our teacher decided since it was a thursday and a non-uniform day that he wouldn't make us got to the library and instead we would continue research in the class. I think that todays lesson was the lesson a got the most done. I used about 7 blue notes.I decided to focus only about the ancient chinese education because that was the only category that I didnt have any information for. I fully completed about 2 questions thanks to "history for kids" website. I know it probably was for ages younger than me, but it did have information about china, and how can I argue with that.

18/1/11-----6th lesson

Guess what, we didnt go to the library today! We spent the lesson in the class room and used our laptops to research instead of books. Although Mr.Bonnallie told us that we would still be going to the library because he wanted most of our information from books. I looked at a 1 website that mostly had the information about ancient chinese religion. It was really long, but if you read carefully you would find small facts. Small maybe, but very useful.

16-1-11-----5th lesson

Once again, our lesson was in the library. And once again, i was reading the same book. Although I'm not saying that I was wasting time, the book is pretty big and filled with loads of information. I decided, from the experience I had last lesson, to just leave the dynasties to the internet and to focus more on the religion. I answered the question "What was the Ancient chinese religion".

13-1-11-----4th day

I learned something pretty important today. I probably should of probably looked more a china before i chose it fro my report. Today when I was in the library looking at the Chinese dynasty's, and i couldn't keep track of which dynasty was when. I unfortunately wasted 3 full note cards because of the false information  i had mixed up. Dynasty are so confusing!!!!!

11/1/11-----3rd lesson

Today we also spent the class time in the library just like the previous tow. Unfortunately I realized that i had lost my question paper, so I had to spend the first half of the lesson re-writing all of my questions. Fortunately I did remember most of them wich made it much easier. For the remainder of the lesson I read a book about china, and i recorded how the social class status could change. That was actually one of my questions. I felt much better when I was reading the books and getting the information from their because i knew the those facts were true, not like some false facts on the internet.
