Pretty Productive Today

I found a few more web sources after I started to expand my searching terms. I found about six more websites which brings me to 11. Also I finished this example project plan that I started the other day:

This is just an example pretty much all of the elements are changeable and interchangeable. Also, my goal is to have a more definitive talk with Mr. Ringold and I plan to get that done by Wednesday at the latest. Wednesday because if I can't find time to talk to him during the day I can talk to him after school at drama club which is currently held on Wednesday.

  1. Excellent initiative, Maranda. That is an expansive list of topics/ideas. Any way to narrow it down/streamline it a bit?
