Today, I planned on thinking. Just thinking of the work I have to do this weekend.
Today, I ended up thinking and making many mental notes about my plan. Although I did not physically write anything down, I have most of it planned out.
Next time, I plan on having everything done!

Today, I planned on setting up the foundation and base of my project.
Today, I made a list of some items that I could possibly bring in or borrow from others. I also thought of how I will present my project and also myself.
Next time, I plan on going ito furthur detail with each key item. I plan on writing (or typing) detailed descriptions and background histories of each of the items.

Today, I planned on thinking and changing my way of presenting my topic. I also planned on starting the foundation of my project today.
Today, I ended up thinking of another way to present my project. I thought of several ways such as a gameshow like video, a timeline, and an exhibit. I chose the timeline and I planned on how it would be set up. I did not physically write anything down, so the whole idea is still in my mind.
Next time, I plan on starting my foundation and starting to build the pieces for my timeline.

Today, I planned on reaching my total of 30 index cards. Which means that I need just one more index card. Then I plan on laying out the foundation of my physical project.
Today, I didn't feel so good. So I took a 20 minute nap. Then I found my one source. Then from then to the end of the class period, I just hung out and didn't really focus on my work. I still didn't feel good.
Next time, which is after spring break, I plan on revising and editing my foundation for my project.

Today I planned on reaching my total goal of 30 sources.
Today, I only got 3 sources to reach my total goal of 29. I fell short one source.
Next time, I plan on reaching that total goal and maybe even more. I will also try to plan on how I will do my project. I have a feeling that I may have to change how I will present this thing.

Today, I planned on reaching the goal of 26 index cards and 9 daily progress posts. I also tried to stay on task the whole block.
Today, I went a little off task at the beginning and played a game or two. Then I got to work and found four more sources to reach my total goal of 26 index cards. Then I did this post to reach my goal of 9 of daily progress posts.
Next time, I want to reach my total minimum goal, if not more, of 30 sources.

Today, I planned on answering Mr. Nilsen's status questions and also achieving the goal of the amount of index cards and the number of daily progress reports.
Today, I answered the status questions first just to get it out of the way. Then I researched more about modern technology such as iPods, HTC, and Microsoft. I found my goal of 4 sources for today.
Next time, I want to try to get ahead in the sources just to get it out of the way early on. I want to achieve at least 2 sources more than the target for next time. I want to try to stay on task the whole time.

Status Report
1) What have I accomplished on my project so far?
2)What do I still have left to do?
3) What has been harder than I thought it would be?
4) What has been easier than I thought it would be?
5) How would I do my project differently if I could start over again?
6) What do I need to get accomplished before Spring Break?
1) So far, I have accomplished about 18 index cards (beginning of class) and 7 daily progress reports. I have found many reliable sources that I feel will help me with my technology presentation. I believe I have been leaning more towards a timeline on the technological revolution.
2) I still have to retrieve 12 more index cards to reach my minimum goal of 30. I still need to assemble together my physical project.
3) Something that I thought it was harder than it would be was actually assembling the project itself. I thought about the kind of things that I would need to put together and there are many materials that I need.
4) Something that I thought it was easier than it would be was the research and the 30 index cards. I thought that would be a hassle to keep up with, but instead I'm keeping up with them pretty easily.
5) If I could restart my project, I would have completely chosen a different topic because of the materials that I need. I would have changed it to something that our family has many of: such as shoes or bowling balls.
6) Before Spring Break, I have to accomplish my 30 index cards and my target amount of daily progress posts.
