Josh you have not done any journal entries lately. Please fix this up before next week.Caroline Woud 29/10/2010 Josh your grade is an D Grade 10/30 Unfortunately you haveonly just begun your journal. Is there a reason for this? Are you having problems accessing your page or with the internet? Or are you too distracted socialising with the girls in your group?

Please see me ASAP so I can help you get started and improve your grade. Cheers Caroline Woud13/08/2010.
 * Journal 1 __June 22nd 2010__**

The **Research Project** is like a science experiment. You have a **hypothesis** to investigate. A method to conduct your research. Research results documents, and A conclusion and evaluation. In this lesson ms woud mentioned about working in groups. I will be working with Amy Patyi and mel Williams. J In this lesson we were shown were to find the six steps of research based learning and what those six steps are. **Journal 2 __Maltiple Intelligences Test__** with this maltiple intelligences test i am more in the musical (Music Smart) section than any of the others, the second highest is interpersonal.
 * 1) Define
 * 2) Locate
 * 3) Select
 * 4) Organise
 * 5) Present
 * 6) Evaluate


 * Journal 3**

This week we had been looking at the harvard referencing system. the harvard referenceing system is one way to write your bibliography and to keep track of who and where you are getting your information from.

In our group today **Mel, Amy, Maggie, Hannah** and **petra** the new one in the group haha, after our group had discussed what our group should be researching about we eventually came up with raising money for a charity.
 * Journal 4**

We found a childrens cancer group, but unfortunatly they were located in Queensland so that was a shut down for us, we then decided to raise money for the womens and childrens hospital. Today Mel, Petra, Amy and i went into town to the woemens and childrens to see if we could possibly to some fundraising for the childrens ward. just before we left Ms Mclnnes came into our class and said that therer will be no more fundraising, since that there is only limited ammounts every year. but that didnt make us give up, we still really wanted to work at the hospital so wat we did was we went with plan B which was volunteering. even though no money would be raised we would still be helping others. The trip to town was a long and confusing since we wernt really shure on what busses to catch etc. once we got the the womens and childrens hospital we asked about volunteering and got some very useful information, they then said that we needed to be 18, /facepalm
 * Here is a mind map to show roughly what we came up with.**
 * Journal 5**

Since we realy still want to workwith kids, we all decided to talk the pennington kindy. Mel and Amy went today to ask about volunteering, apperently they kinday seemed interested. we needed to do a police check to make sure that we a actually school students etc. we will have to come up with fun games/activities for the kids.
 * Journal 6**

When pennington call back they had some bad news which was that the police check would take to long to complete, so we had to change what we were going to do for research project yet again. this then made us tink of a plan (D), how music makes an impact on people. t is a completely different topic to what we originally came up with but oh well, our whole group loves music so this will make it a whole lot easier to do.
 * Journal 7**

Today in research we started writing down some chords and melody to use for the song we were wanting to eventually come up with. the group came up with the idea of getting buskers from town that we know to help out with recording and play the music aswell, the last thing to do is to come up with some lyrics.
 * Journal 8**

if you go on to facebook you will find a survey that you can fill out about how music make an impact on you!
 * Journal 9**
 * We have made a survey on FACEBOOK =)**

We have aske josh Paulson, a good friend of all of ours to kindly help us with the recording for the piano. it took a while to master it but with his skills it cme out sounding awesome =D. everyone but me got to gether and analysed the results to our surveys. cheers to everyone who filled out the surveys properly :)
