1. Description. What happened in your project this week? What did you do? Experience?

This week in Honors I researched and wrote Chapter 2. I read a lot of stories about other Children's Law Centers around the country. I also read a lot of sad stories about foster kids in need of legal aide, which was hard but encouraging because it made me feel as if I have something to work for.

2. Interpretation. What did you learn from your project this week? About the project? About the issue? About yourself?

I learned that this project is going to be a lot more emotionally difficult than I might like, but I think that will help me to learn and grow. I learned a lot about the foster care system and how much of a say children have in their lives, which is not a lot unless organizations like the CLC step in.

3. Evaluation. How would you evaluate your work on the project this week? What grade would you give yourself? Are you accomplishing the objectives of the project? Your personal objectives?

I would give myself an A- because I worked very hard, but I fell asleep once when I should have been doing research. I am accomplishing my objectives and much more.

Weekly Project Journal

Each week of the project, student must submit a project journal entry. The journal entry consists of three parts:

1. Description. What happened in your project this week? What did you do? Experience?
I wrote Chapter 1 and researched for Chapter 2.

2. Interpretation. What did you learn from your project this week? About the project? About the issue? About yourself?

I learned a lot more about the organization and what exactly they do. I learned that they are mainly geared toward helping foster children.

3. Evaluation. How would you evaluate your work on the project this week? What grade would you give yourself? Are you accomplishing the objectives of the project? Your personal objectives?

I would give myself an A for the first week because I put a lot of effort in...and I would give myself an I for this week because I have been sick so my work is currently incomplete.
