"No dream comes true until you wake up and go to work." (Anonymous)
Your project is either finished or nearly finished. How did you do on it? I really would like projects like the one you've been working to be a big part of next year's class. For that to happen, I would like some honest feedback about the project.
What did you think about the project? What did you like and/or dislike? If you were teaching the class, what parts of the project would you keep? What would you cut out? Would you add anything to the project concept?
I know that many of you have worked very hard. I can't wait to see your presentations!

yo i had fun during this project and i sorda liked it, it was a bit diffucult at times but me and my other members worked threw it. I think next years class will enjoy it but they better use their time wisely!!! We are getting real close to done except for the wiki.
Spencer Underdown is a beast dont mess son
What i liked was working with people that i dont really work with. i also liked that we got to pick what we got to do. i think we should have just did a wiki for the whole project.
The project was fun but i thought there was too much to do, in so little time. We had a lot of work to do and we ended up changing our mind from a talk show to a poster, which we really didn't want to do.

I thought it was really fun at times. BUT it was also alot of work to do in a short amount of time. I think that experimenting with different materials and media is good but not all at one time.
The project was challenging yet still fun. I disliked how you had to keep track of the blogs. If i was teaching i wouid of keeped the wiki and alot of other things. i would cut out the blog. i dont know if i would add anything.
our project is almost done and i think we did a pretty good job so far we still need to film tomorrow but other than that everything is going great i didn't really enjoy the project at first because i have to do the 2 hardest jobs but now we are past that and starting to film and thats fun. if i was teaching i'd keep the talkshows and other good idea's but cut out the wiki pg and having to get pictures to go along with the reasearch i dont think i would add anything to the project concept

Our group worked together on this project. We still have some stuff still to do. But we will probally get done on time.

We are nearly finished. I think we did good we had a good plot going into but it changed later on. Jaden said that there was was not enough time but most of that falls on us. Brandon said not enough time. And me micheal said the same thing.

I liked the project, but it wasn't really my favorite. We could have had more time to do it and some things should be added. I think that you should keep doing this project in the future, but give more time take some things out and add some new creative things. My group and I had a fun and enjoyable time and can't wait to hear how next years projects go. We are almost completely done nothings gone wrong. All goes well!

i liked the project because i like working in groups but we are only just getting started on the movie & the script...i think there was to much to do in this short amount of time though.

I had a lot of fun doing this progect i like how we got to wo k in groups so you didn't have to do everything yourself.i wish we would've had a little more time to do things because i felt rushed. But overall i had a really fun time and i think the class next year will have a good time too.

I liked how we got to pick our group, I disliked how we had to race to get our topic, but it was good.
Our project is almost finished. We need to add a couple of things, but that's about it. I personally liked the project. Something that i didn't like about it, would probably be the time we had to do on it. It was a lot of stress on me. If i were teaching i would keep the wiki, and the blog. I would probably of given more time to work on the project. I wouldn't add anything to the project concept. cya tomorrow!
-Catherine Campana
i liked how we could pick our own groups, i didn't like how we had to have different responsibilities, but it was fun
janson the boss eggerton
I thought the project was different from the normal stuff we do but i still liked it. if i was the teacher i would not have changed anything about it
Evan the king Bloiso
I think we did good. The project was really fun. I like that we got to pick our groups. I would keep the blog because it's interesting to see what other people think.
Hunter the Bunter(baseball)
You have to work to achieve your goal. I think we did an exceptional job. I'm not lying because I love social studies, I LOVED THIS PROJECT. The only thing I didn't like, but is important, is citations! I would keep everything the way it is.
Dylan Casale
My group project is past half way almost done.But its gonna be good...we hope.This project had difficultys in my group,but we could get threw it and kept our eyes on the prize.I've personally thought that 1 or 2 questions were confusing and my group agreed,but we found more info out and they were answered.We've got our poster done today.
--Anthony C. a.k.a. Tony Montana
I think that for the most part, the project was fun. I liked the fact that we only had to include 6 questions on our poster because the wiki pages have taken up almost all of our time. I didn't like the fact that we had to race to get our topic, make 2 wiki pages plus a poster, and that we had to hurry to get ours done. It was hard to get our project done because every day our group only consisted of 2 to 3 people (including me). Even though our poster was done within the first couple days, we had to spend a long time working on the wiki pages. If I was teaching the class, I would keep the main project (poster, talk show, etc.)and cut out the 2 wiki pages that we had to do. I personally would have probably kept the project concept and just change it a little. We are almost done with our whole project, I hope that we get it done in time! We haven't had any technical problems the whole project, either!

Our project is almost finished. We just have to add labels and some writing to our poster. I really injoyed doing the project. Something i would have liked better was if we could extend the time on our projects so that we could make them more better and detailed. I don't think i would change anything about this project. I like the wiki and the blog. This was a really cool project to end the year!
-Sam K
Our project is almost finished! I thought over-all this project was fun. it was better then just sitting in class. I liked that we got to do things and we weren't just listening to someone teach and taking notes, but i did I didn't like that {atleast in our group} it seemed that some people were doing alot more than other people in our group. I fI was teaching the class i would make smaller groups because it's alot easier to get things done and stay focused with less people! I don't think I would really add anything to the project.
Emily Haller
I liked our project. The only thing i would have done is give them more time to complete it. It was hard at times if you messed around and didn't get things done you would have to crunch done and really focus.
i liked our project. The only thing i would have changed would be the time we had to do it. I would have given them more time to complete the project. You definitly have to use your time wisely if you dont you need to focus to finish in time.
I think that my group is going to get a pretty good grade on our project. I thought that the project was a good idea, but I did not like working in groups. I prefer to work alone because then I know that I am doing the best that I can and getting the job done on time. I would keep the entire project, but not have the students work in groups.
Karissa Hornberger
I think we did really good on the project,everyone is working hard.I think we should have a longer time to work on it so we can take our time and do a good job.
the last post was sent in by eric worthington
We are not completely done, but really close to it. I overall liked the project..but i wish we had more time to do it. I think everything would have been completed better with more time. Next year i would make sure that it would be a complete group effort.
Kayla
The project was fun and i enjoyed doing it. It looks good even tho it isnt finished. It should turn out to be a great project. It would have been more fun to have more time working on the project but fun trying to get it done right for the grade we want to get for it. It's a great idea.
-Jill
i liked how i got to work with my friends but i think we could do better at times we are getting our wiki done and alomost all of our questions r completed.....spencer underdown is deff a beast
It was fun but hard.We all worked together to get it done. We all did are owe job.I did not like the wiki.
we are going through the motions in the wiki and try to finish every thing by the dead line ,progress
-Pat Slattery
We had an alright time doing this project. We are nearly done we just need to add one more thing to the PP and we will be finished. I think the kids next year will enjoy doing this project. We had a little bit of trouble because we fooled around a little and we were crunched on time.

I liked working on the project, but I did not know how to do the wiki and had some difficulties figuring it out. My group did not work well on the wiki timewise. We should have had more time to work on it.
What I think about the project is that it taught me somethings that I didn't know. What I like about the project is that it tells me about France. I don't dislike any thing about the project. The parts that I would want to cut out of the project is the parts that are not important.
Cody Berger
You can't get a good grade if you don't even come to school. My group is so closed to being finished ans I think we did a really good job on it. I thought the project was very fun. I like being able to pick our groups and I didn't really didlike anything.I loved the whole thing! I would keep that you could pick you own groups and first come first serve. I would also give the class more time. I think time was a big issue. No I would not add anything to the project concept.
-Sara O'Dell :]
THIS WAS A FUN PROJECT BUT IT WOULD OF BEEN BETTER IF WE HAD MORE TIME.

i had a good time managening everything in my group and being the team leader of my group although it was very frustrating at times.

I think this projects was really fun I think we should have done more projects like this one. Wikki Rules!!

i enjoyed the experence but hated the computer work. The wiki was just a waste in time i think. The rest was fun and educational. Thanks for the apratunate.
CRYSTAL GRAY
Well most of the this project I haven't been here for two weeks so I haven't done much but wat I have done I've liked so far.We are pretty much done.I think the 6th graders moving up to 7th will like this project next year.
Codi B.
I think our video will be horrible but will get the main points across. I think the project would have been easier if we had one more person(two actors, one camera man, and one researcher). I liked the fact that we got to build the project from the ground up but disliked the little time we had to do it. I probably wouldn't change anything but give a little more time
Brandon Fagnano
I think we're doing ok,I have to finish the wiki during the next couple of days because the person who was supposed to do the wiki didn't do a very good job. I like the main project, but I do not like the wiki at all because it was hard to figure out what to do. I would keep the blog and the main presintation.I would take out the wiki part, also i would not add anything to the project. ~Katherine Duffield
We are done with our poster and our wiki pages. I had a lot of fun doing this. I thought it was a neat idea to end the year. I don't really think i would change anything. If i had to change something i would give us more time so we could put more details and add-ons in our work. But i would keep the wiki and the blogs. It was a fun project.

i had a good time doing this project. if i had to change anything it would be nothing and my group worked very well~brittany dowling
I thought the project was good but the Bill Gates part was unessecary. We should just be told to do a report on France. I also would have perfered if we could have worked alone. Otherwise it was OK.
i would have kept the wiki part and the roles and the ideas of either doing a movie thing, or a talk show, or a poster, or a powerpoint. But I would have liked to have a little more time because we were all going away a lot so we could not do a talk show. I would have liked to been able to put a little more work into it.\

this goes out to everyone. today is 2 days before we were going to be present our power point. i got on the computer today to make sure we had everything and it was gone. along with other documents. i don't know who did this but my group and i are veryyyyyyy mad. i don't know who would ever do something like this. its childish and we don't appriate it. whoever did this i hope you're happy you accomplished your goal. our power point, project, and last grade of the year is gone.

I liked this project alot. i think it was a good idea and it helped us learn our subject in a new way. if u are going to do this next year i htink u should give the students a longer time to complete it. I would also like to say that i am very upset about our project being deleted! We spent a lot of time on the power point and now we dont have annything to present on Monday.
Emily Dincher
i REALLY LIKED THIS PROJECT A LOT BECAUSE IT GAVE USE SOMETHING CHALLENGING TO DO.
Sincerely,
Jacob Mackey
