Learning Log Feb. 20

What We Did Today:

Today, we were in the library for the whole block. We drew from a box who the person was that we were going to be researching from the Middle Ages and we did that for the whole block. Before this though, we took notes on what information we have to get for our bibliography (YES we have to do a bibliography.) If you were not in class today, copy this out.

BOOK:
-Title
-author (s) / editors
-publishing company
-copyright date : most recent
-publishing city:
*choose Canadian city over international/U.S.
*closest to Vancouver

ENCYCLOPEDIA:
-Title (eg: World Book)
-year/edition
-Article "what are you looking up in the encyclopedia" eg: Medieval Women
-Copyright date

ONLINE:
-web address or url is not the bibliographic info- this is only part of what you need
-title-page
-author (s)
-look for "how to cite this page"
-date accessed (so what day did YOU look at the website)

Learning Intention:
The learning intention of this project is to teach us about how the person we got lived in the Middle Ages. It's easier to focus on one person rather than the whole Middle Ages itself. The reason we took the notes on doing a bibliography is because Ms Lees wants us to be able to do a bibliography and a proper one too.

Connections/ Reflections:
For me, finding facts about my person from the Middle Ages was really hard. I have to research an 'archer.' There aren't many facts about the daily life of an archer or about what religion they are or things like that. All it talks about is their armor and their bows; what they're known for.
Being able to do bibliographies will help us in the future when we have to do a research project and have to do a bibliography. Knowing how to do a proper bibliography now and practicing will make us really good at them.

Homework:
-Keep on researching on your person from the Middle Ages. i'm pretty sure the notes are due on Thursday
-Chpt. 9 questions of 'There Will Be Wolves' are due on Thursday

Tips:
Make sure you are actually finding information on the computer and not goofing off. The more information you find now, the lesser you will have to do at home
