Today I got really confused about my webliography. I thought that we were supposed to write summaries on the articles once we first found them, not once we have found all of our sites we want to use. I wasted a bunch of time today apparently.

Today I decided to change my topic back to the National Honors Society.
I also created some questions:
  1. How can I convey information to the current tenth graders about NHS?
  2. What are the requirements?
  3. When should I talk to current tenth graders?
  4. How can I make a website about NHS at City High?
  5. What should be on the website?
  6. How are we going to publicize?
  7. What activities could be planned for NHS?

In the beginning of class I looked at the National Honors Society website and found some terms. In addition, I also found more websites that could be beneficial to me later on when working on the project.

So I finally decided on a topic. Since I love photography, and I love to photograph old buildings, I am going to compare old and historical buildings in Pittsburgh and fidn out what makes them historical. Then, I will take pictures of them. Hopefully, I will not change my topic again.

Ms. Savido helped me out the other day in giving me an topic. She suggested that since I am in the National Honors Society, that I plan things and create a website, and help the NHS at City High get on its feet.

I am clueless on which topic I want to choose for my graduation project. I am leaning towards product recall and greenovating buildings. I always found product recall interesting because I don't know how people can manufacture products and not realize that there is something wrong with them until they are already in consumption. I have seen a couple shows on television on how people can make their lives and their houses "greener", and I found it interesting on the different ways that you could help the environment, yet also help yourself in the long run. Then again there's the CSI comparasion between real life and television. Ms. Savido showed the class yesterday different projects that the seniors have done, and one girl did one CSI's on T.V. and what people really think about them and if they are accurately presented. I thought that that would be a good idea. Basically, I am clueless.
