__ The inquisitive entry of 2/11/10 __ I'm up to the last part of my resaerch question which is 'what songs send messages' i have found four didffernt songs from four differnt artists. These are 'beds are burning' by midnight oil, 'Have a nice day' by Bon Jovi, 'never tear us apart' by INXS and 'Black or white' by Michael Jackson. All of these send a different message and tell a story. They are all well known songs and artists so they are easy to relate to and listen to.

__ HE CREAKY ENTRY OF 29-10-10 __ Today isnt going as well as i had hoped, we have so much due and yes we've done a lot but im still not sure if its enough! I think I just need to try harder. we are really cracking done now as we have realised just how close the end is.the whole group is concentrating as a whole to get everything done! we are all making sure we are on task and helping eachother whenever and wherever possible. Right now we are making sure our bibliography/refernce list is set out correctlyand has all the correct information so that were not plagerising. :) by monday we should be ready to print out everything we need! then tuesday we will more than likely(definately) be presenting!!!  I.IS.SCAYERD!!!

__ The squidgy entry of 19/10/2010 __ So far it is myself and stacey that are coming up with the powerpoint whilst all the others go to the music center and create the song. Today we are continuing with the powerpoint, whilst mel, josh, petra and amy record the song. As far as i know Amelia Merchant will be singing the chorus. As it will take too long we have decided to not write lyrics for the whole song, we will have a chorus and then in other parts have people talking about peace/unity through music.I have heard a rough recording of the chords and it sounds really good. A problem we have is collating all the information and research we have gathered. Mel has the group on her facebook so she will log on tonight and get all the information for friday to put in our powerpoint. Maggie is away on camp so we have one less person to help out for awhile. We have a plan and if we follow it we will be able to get everything done on time :)

__The Groovy journal of 12/10/2010__ Today myself and stacey are coming up with the draft for our report on our research that we have done :) We are using the scaffold we found on the research home page!!! It's useful to a certain extent and because the majority of our group are in the music centre perfecting our chords and lyrics we are having some difficulty. We need more evidence on the research we have done.



__     ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ The musical entry of the 21/09/2010 __ This week we have come up with the basic chords for our song. Maggie and Mel are now coming up with the lyrics. They will film the music video during the holidays. Our group has come up with a list of people with musical talent to sing/play our song.

The YAY entry of the 12/9/10 we have started coming up with a rhythm for our song. we have decided that everyone needs to start writing any ideas down for lyrics or music notes. i think we'll be using the ipad a lot because it has a piano on it. so yes we have figured out a way to make the ipad useful for class work!!! we're still deciding on the style of music but i'm pretty sure the theme is something like 'peace through music' we have over come many struggles as all our previous ideas failed miserably :( but we are determined to make this work! any future problems that arise will be jumped over as easily as hurdles...well at least half of us are good athletes- yes im looking at you Mel :)

__The Creepy Entry of the 31/08/10__ This is our page...yeah its all kindsa awesomeLEMON SQUAD Have no fear our group has come up with a plan!!! We are going to come up with our own song and get all different people to play it. We're going to go up to the city and get the buskers to perform their own interpretation of it. then we'll cut and paste differnt parts of the song and put them all together. We got this idea form a group of people who went all around the world and did a similar thing with a bob marley song- one love. we can't do something that extravagant but using the music centers resources we shall put together one awesome song!!! to be honest i like this idea more than the kindy :) myself and stacey have done the five capabilities sheet and have begun to come up with a form to use when we need to leave the school.



__The Grand Entry of the 24/08/10__

Today our group made a decision on what each of us would do. Stacey and I are going to make the mind map. We are all coming up with questions to put on it. (Josh is also threatening to strangle Amy...) we have done a bit on the mid map and its going well. We have faced a lot of problems since we started the research project. We have such a large group so it’s not overly difficult to come up with ore ideas. Our group may be going to a kindergarten, I’m not entirely sure of the details yet but it’s coming together.

__ ﻿ The wikawow entry of the 19/08/2010__ Today we are screwed as all our plans have fallen through, we are now trying to pick up the pieces of our broken dreams :( but there is hope!!! we have come up with more ideas, working with kiddies at a daycare/kindy!!!:) fun YEAH

The WOW entry of the 9/08/10



So far in research project I have learnt how to work in an extremely large group (seven people). We are all working together and have individual tasks to complete, as well as brainstorming as a group.

I want to complete the research project and get experience in research out of it. I also want to be able to apply my knowledge to other situations in life.

So far I enjoy working in a team and learning how to use wiki space.

Complications that have arisen include not being able to fundraise how we had first planned. We are still overcoming this issue and brainstorming more ideas. We have been able to come up with ideas on how to fundraise and what to do but now we need to find another way to get involved with the Women’s and Children’s hospital e.g. by taking a tour. We’ll have to overcome this by brainstorming and using the internet to find ideas.

I have so far learnt how to in-text reference and how they need to be in the text in brackets AND in the reference/bibliography list.

We will need to contact the women’s and children’s hospital to get directly involved. We could book a tour or see if they need volunteers to entertain the sick kids.

__ Very first entry of the 22/06/10 __ Today in the research project we learned about a simile to describe the research project. The <span style="font-family: 'Willow','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">research project is like a science experiment. You have a <span style="font-family: 'Willow','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">hypothesis <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">to investigate. <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14.4pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">A <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 81%; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">method <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">to conduct your research. <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: center;"> Research <span style="font-family: 'Willow','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">results documented and, <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: center;"> A <span style="font-family: 'Willow','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">conclusion and <span style="font-family: 'Willow','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">evaluation.

I think this a good simile because I like step by step instructions and if the research project is like a science experiment then I think I will do well. I like to have work organised and easy to access. A science experiment needs to be precise and followed exactly to work well and I believe this is a good way to work. We also looked at the six steps of research based learning. I now know they are define, locate, select, organise present and evaluate. I really want to do well in this project so hopefully I can cope. I have heard this is a difficult subject and takes a lot of work. I am prepared to at least try to do well. With the eye of the tiger I shall complete the task!!! ;) ======

__ The randomness entry of the 25/06/10 __ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-size: 12pt; lineheight: 115%;">From doing this quiz I have learnt more about myself and my learning styles and what areas I am more intelligent in. From these results it seems I am mostly nature smart. This is dead on because I love nature, especially animals. Learning about them is fun and interesting for me, so this test seems to be quite accurate.

<span style="background-color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 17.6pt; line-height: 115%;">__The quirky entry of the 29/06/10__ Today in research project I filled my ‘year 11 research project, integrated studies’ sheet. It was quite helpful for me to get a better understanding of how to in-text reference which I’d never heard of or attempted before. It was a bit hard to understand parts of the sheet but with Ms Woud’s help I worked through it

I filled in all the examples of the different references, e.g. internet, book and survey referencing. These along with the handouts will be extremely helpful in allowing me to reference properly. I’ve always struggled to reference correctly so hopefully I won’t have any more trouble.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 108%;"> __The Awesomest entry of 20/07/10__ Today my group- (Mel, Josh, Amy, Maggie and Stacey) have come up with a charity to raise money for. It's more than likely going to be The Women's and Children's Hospital :) it is a charity we all agree is a good one to support. ======

This lesson I created this mutant monster majiggy. My group also did a tonne of work such as coming up with fundrasing ideas for the womens and childrens hospital. We are probably going to get a few teachers together and get students to pay for them to get a pie in the face...should be interesting.We now have a name for our wikipage its "Team Alpha Super Awesome Cool Dynamite Wolf Squadron"

The Rad entry of the 3/08/10

Today we have started coming up with our plan of attack! using the "Research Project: Woodville's Research Questions" sheet we have begun the planning stage. Like coming up with our hypothesis and the who, When, Why, What and How. So far in research project I have learnt how to work in an extremely large group (seven people). We are all working together and have individual tasks to complete, as well as brainstorming as a group. By the end of the week we want to have the plan complete so we can movbe forward. We apparently now have limitations on our fundraising so we'll wait and see what we we can do to get around that. We are also trying to come up with a new team name, an original one that doesnt already exist :)
