DON"T FORGET TO E-MAIL YOUR IDEAS FOR YOUR RESEARCH PROJECT

Anytime you have an idea for your research project, please e-mail me so I can think about it also. I'd like everyone to have a general idea of  their topic before we have our 2nd library visit on Tuesday.

Any thoughts you'd like to share?  Please write about this project while it is still fresh in your mind and don't forget to visit other classmates' blogs too.

Have a great weekend,
