Research Projects: Journals
I want to focus on journals this week because many of you seemed very curious about them last week. I, personally, enjoy doing the journal. I have even been known to do them on my own. There is much more freedom with the journal. If you choose the journal, keep in mind that it is a tool you may refer back to in the future.
The following are examples that you may find useful:
2006
Karen Daniel’s journal (color code)
Danielle Lynch-Masterson (Mexican American self-sabotage)
2004
Kristy Pawlak (building a reading list of African American topics for use in high school classroom)
As I reviewed these journals, I found some material useful to my own research project. I planned to do the journal until Dr. White suggested the conference paper. If I were doing the journal, I would use this as an opportunity to research Native American legend, lore, and creation mythology to build a foundation for a fantasy novel I’m working on called Earth Fairy.
