Today in class we were taken to the multimedia lab. In the multimedia lab Mrs. Boulanger was waiting for us. When we got there we all logged on to the computer and waited for further directions. Mrs. Boulanger asked us to turn off our screens so we don't get distracted. Once we did she taught us how to create a new widget for our wiki for our journal. We had to call the widget " My Journal ". When we were done doing that, we created a new blogger in our old one and linked it to our wiki. The blogger was called "Early Civilizations Journal - Latifa ". It was a fairly easy thing to do although some students had some difficulties. Once we were done Mr. Sparks asked us to open up our books to the past journal entries and we had to type them up.I had forgotten my book in my locker so i had to go get it. When the bell rang i was done.

today Mr. Sparks was absent again for the second time. Like last time Mrs. Fletcher took over the class. she had taken us to the library. In the library the librarian taught us how to get a bibliography of a book. For the bibliography you need to know :

- The title of the book

- The author

- The date is was published

- The place it was published in

She had also showed us a website that organizes for you the bibliography. All you need to do is put in the information and it will do the rest. This website is called : www.easybib.com.
The library had organized a corner with books about the ancient civilizations for all of grade 7 . Mrs. Fletcher had taken us to that corner to look at the books . Once we took a look at them we made up our minds about what civilization to do. I chose to do Ancient Egypt.

For the past few days we have been introduced to the project about Early Civilizations. I missed the first lesson because i had a football tournament but not the second. I was lost in the beginning but then i understood what was going. I was told that in the first lesson the class chose 3 characteristics about any civilization and they made up questions about them. They didn't get very far but they were asked to make up 2 questions for 2 of the characteristics at home for homework. Some students did it and others didn't. Since i wasn't informed about the homework i couldn't do it. In the second lesson when they were continuing with making up the questions i didn't know what was going on at first, but later on i joined the class and made up a question. In the third lesson Mr. Sparks wasn't there so Mrs. Fletcher took over the class. She gave us a sheet that we had to fill out. On this sheet we had to choose three characteristics and we had to make up 8 questions. The 3 characteristics i chose were Education,Religion and Government And Law. I got along with the task quite well and i finished in time. I didn't bother to fool around like others.Once i was done i took the sheet and stapled it to the back of my book.
