Which laurel project is your best, best work? I think that my zine is my best work. It was challenging but I love to write. I am not usually the best at being very descriptive but one of my favorite pieces to write was the descriptive one. I liked trying something new because if it wasn't for this laurel I never would have gotten to write my own magazine. I think I did better because I got to write about something of my choice. I wrote about skiing and that is something I have been doing since I was two, so as long as I can remember.

How did you do on time management? I think I did well on time management but I really liked how they were all spread out. I think I would have felt very overwhelmed if we had gotten all of the projects at once. I was careful about when each project was due and making sure I was spreading out what I was doing when. That way I didn't do it all at the last minute and rush but I also didn't do it all at the same time and try to rush.

What was the most challenging part of these projects? I think the most challenging part was being careful and making sure you have done all of the requirements. For the Let's Go Traveling laurel I made my self a check list about everything I had to do so I was able to be sure that I had done everything and did it right. I found that that way works best for me. With the author study I think if I had done it that way I would have been better.

City-State Description: I think I did well on my city-state. I think that my myth was my best work on that. I think that I could have had more information about my everyday life in my snap shot.

Author Study Description: I think I did well but this is the project that I had a little trouble with time management. I did my brochure first and I think I spent a little longer than I should have and so I didn't get to spend as long as I wanted to on my essay.

Let's Go Traveling Description: I think I did very well with my Let's Go Traveling book. When I found out about this project i was really happy that I had saved all of my notes about social studies! I tried to be as creative as I could be and I tried to not do what everyone else was doing for theirs.

Math Description: I really enjoyed this laurel because I love math. I liked all of the challenge problems that I got to do. I did all 20 of the problems and I think that I got at least most of them right. I had a little bit of trouble with the expert answer paragraph but I tried hard.

Friendship Description: This was one of my favorite laurels that we did. I interviewed Mr. W. One of the many reasons I interviewed him was because he didn't only change my life when he was my fourth grade teacher but he changes many peoples lives everyday. I didn't only enjoy doing my own interview but I liked listening to the interviews that my classmates did.

French: This was one of the more challenging laurels for me but I still had a good time getting to be creative. Most of the dialogue that I did was about a high five and a seven year old annoying a waiter at McDonalds. This was one of the laurels that you had to be very careful with the directions. I think that I did well with this dialogue and I enjoyed hearing everyone else's.

Music: I liked this laurel. I liked getting to make my own instrument and I learned something about it. I also liked getting to learn how to play the recorder.
