Today in West Civ we continued to work on our paper. My group made a lot of progress and we only have a few paragraphs left to write. I think we could get a good grade on our paper. I also think our paper will be better than our power point. I wrote the first two paragraphs for our project today. I will also probably help write the conclusions paragraph with my group. We all work really well together and do our share of the paper. Overall, I like this project.

West Civ
Today in West Civ we started to write the paper about our topic. My topic was Homer and is very difficult. There isn't a lot of information on Homer, however I think my group could write a good paper. Furthermore, I am taking the first two days to write the paper and the last day to watch the video. I think this method is the best method for success.

West Civ
Today in West Civ we talked about the research paper we had to write. We have to write a paper on the topic we had for our power point. Furthermore, my topic will be Homer the storyteller. We have three days to write this paper and we have to watch a video in those days. I think it will be easy because we have three people in a group. Overall, hopefully we will be successful with our paper.

Today in class we shared our projects and took notes on other peoples. Some of the time I couldn't keep up or see the words on the board so I don't have the best notes. Overall, I was happy with my group however, I wish we could have found more information. Homer was a very hard subject to have and there really wasn't a lot of information.
