Suprisingly Original...I Think

Bronwyn: Harry Potter !! Logan: Research Update

My research has been going really well so far. I have honestly enjoyed this research project quite a bit. It has been rather easy for me to gather sources and summarize them. It was difficult the first few times, but I eventually got the hang out it. At this point, I have a strong topic and research question, and a strong idea of the direction I want my paper to go. I am confident that my paper will be very good, because my organization is really strong, and I think I have a lot of good ideas and directions I can take the paper.  I have struggled a little bit with knowing what really needs to go in the paper. Additionally, I have struggled with condensing information and getting it in my own words while keeping it formal and professional. I want to make sure that my paper is not too long and that it conveys everything it needs to without dragging. I am working to ensure that my paper moves along and is interesting.

I learned a lot in the first semester of the year. I learned how to manage my time better, which was very important going into the second semester. I have always struggled with time management and getting everything in on time, but this semester I really got it together and was able to do some pretty amazing work in most of my classes. I learned how to get difficult assignments done and submitted on time. In middle school, there were very few assignments that really challenged me, but so far in high school, most of my assignments have been at least somewhat challenging. Because of this, however, I learned that I can always get things done if I really work hard and put my mind to it, and I can even get them done on time with some proper time management. This semester taught me that communication is key when it comes to teachers. I learned how to communicate well with teachers and how to make sure we are on the same page. In the spring semester, I hope to continue having strong work.
