Statement of Process

I was really excited to get started on this project. I wanted to make sure that I did well and had a lot of time to revise and edit, so I made a plan to make one post every day. It was really hard to choose what to make my posts about and in what order, so I decided to put it all on and then if I wanted to change things around I could put it on a Microsoft Word and then copy and paste it into the order of my choosing. (the one post a day didn't turn out so well)

I had a lot of fun making this blog. It reminds me of the first blog project I did. I find it much easier now that I know how to use blogger and much more interesting since I have time to experiment with new things. I was having a lot of trouble with the spacing in my posts for a while that made my posts hard to read. But then Ms.Sackstein showed me how to change the html to add spaces.

I thought it was a good idea for Ms. Sackstein to give us dates that certain parts of the project was due, it kept me on task and I always wanted to be ahead which I felt would help me finish early. Sometimes I had the uneasy felling that I wouldn't finish posts on time or they wouldn't be good enough to be counted as posts. But they did count and only one was a few minutes late. I would always go back to posts and think about them for a really long time thinking about what looked wrong or how I could make things longer. And sometimes, I admit that I would not take Ms. Sackstein's suggestions. But it's not because I didn't want to, it was because I didn't really know how to. So in the end my work suffered, such as the 1 act play.

I had trouble with some posts so I would just skip over those, so I ended up just doing the posts that were easiest for me.

It was really hard for me to write the essay at first. I was confused and didn't know how I was supposed to do it. But then after talking to Ms. Sackstein and thinking about if for about a week, I decided that I should write an essay about if they were successful on their journey. Once I knew that I had something more specific to write about it made it much easier for me to continue. I didn't mean for it to turn into an editorial, but I think it's much better than the essay. It's so much stronger and clearer.

When I heard about the science experiment I was really excited because I knew that even though it would be hard it would be a lot of fun. So I put the post up right away and planned to talk to Ms.Song about how I could incorporate something scientific. I didn't think it would be too hard considering all the science discoveries made on the expedition. But I never got the chance to talk to Ms. Song, s of course my work didn't really get done.
