1. Which Laurel project was your BEST, best work? I think my Music Laurel was my best work because, I did put part of it off but then I got back on track. I had to learn a song on the recorder to perform on Greek Day. I got that part done pretty quickly. For the other part of the laurel, I had to either make a replica of a Greek instrument (it didn't have to work) and have a paragraph about the history of it, or I had to make a poster, with 5 instruments, and and I had to write a little about each, and draw pictures of them. I chose to make a replica of panpipes. They were solid so it didn't make sound. I made them with my dad and I had a good time. They were very neat.

2. How did you do on time management? I didn't do as well as I would have liked. The ones I did in school I didn't procrastinate, but the ones I did at home were a little iffy (except the marathon). The ones I did at home I could have managed my time better.

3 .What was the most challenging part of these projects? I think that the time was. I had to plan out my time really well, but it didn't work out that way. The most challenging laurel was the author study. It was the most challenging because I had to find information that my author that I was researching didn't put on the internet. Though it was one of the laurels that worked out with me with time.

4. Please tell a little about each of the following:
 * 1) City-State -the city-state laurel was a laurel that we had to create a Greek city-state
 * 2) Author Study -for this laurel we had to choose an author, and read three books by that author (we chose authors that we already read something by) including the one in class, then we had to write and essay about it, and then we had to make a brochure for it
 * 3) Let's Go Traveling -we have to make either a paper book, a mix book, or a bunch of glogs, with 1 civilization on each page or glog with three pictures, and at least 5 facts
 * 4) Zine -we had to make a magazine about a topic of our choice
 * 5) Math -we got a packet of 20 pages of math, and we had to do 15 of the pages, and in the packet were lines to write a paragraph about either why should we switch to the metric system or how we use math in our everyday life
 * 6) Friendship -we had to interview someone who we admire, and we had to summarize it into a paragraph
 * 7) French - we had to make and memorize a french dialogue with a partner that needed 8 requirements, and we had to perform it to the class
