1. Which laurel project is your BEST, best work? I feel that my best work was done on my Author Study. One of the reasons I said this is because I have met the author myself. Since I have met the author I can ask some questions that aren't that clear to me. Now I can link things together so it makes more sense. I can also ask more questions. that you cannot find in his biography. The last thing that can help me is that I can learn more about different books. (Thanks for telling me about Jerry Ms.Eiteljorg)

2.how did you do on time management? I think I did well on time management. I had a plan that I would do all the important things at school. And do the touching up the project at home. However some projects took longer than others.

3. What was the most challenging part of these projects? The most challenging project for me was the french because this was in a foreign language. So I had to work a little harder than my other laurels. The other difficult part is that I had to memorize the dioluage.

4. Please tell a little about each of the following: city state; zine; Let's go traveling; math; friendship; music.
 * city state, I made a town called Aresia. Which was a city named after the greek go Ares. My city state is a democracy and has a very good army. I thought that the city state was interesting because you could make up a lot of the the things. So I felt in more control when I made the city state.
 * zine, The topic I did my zine on was tennis. I really liked this because it was over a topic that I liked. This made it easier to write. I also liked how we could write many different types of writing. It was nice how I could move on from peer editing and try to edit things my self.
 * Lets go traveling, this was a laurel that took longer than the others for me. I liked how we could express what we have learned in SS. However I didn't like taking the pictures because they all had to be labeled for reuse and that took a lot of time.
 * math, I liked the math because there was a lot of challenge problems in their. It is also one of my favorite subjects so when I was doing the math packet I could do it for a long time. I found some of the directions a little on clear so I asked my parents. And they found it unclear too.
 * the friendship laurel is something I enjoyed a lot because I got to see a different side of my mom. I have never heard my mom talk like this. I also thought it was interesting learning more about my parents.
 * I thought the music laurel was really cool because I learned about something that I really didn't know. It was also cool because I am learning about greece currently.
