Today we met at the library in room 105, and we talked about our topics. So each group said their topics. Dr. Berg told us that most of them were pretty broad, so he told us to make them more specific. Then he sent us to research them. My group’s topic was the Massachusetts Bay, from there we split it up into subcatagories. Mine was the interaction between Native Americans and Puritans. Sadly i couldn’t get a computer to look it up so i went to look it up in some of the books in the library but i ended up helping my group members find their books. Also it was kinda hard to find things in like 20 minutes maybe if i had more time i could have something but oh well.

research project
wow today seemed like it went by really fast, it seemed that there was alot said but what i do remember is that Dr. Berg put us in groups of three and we all had to come up with two topics each. After we did all that we pick one of the six to do a project on. While we were doing this Dr. Berg mentioned a research project he was doing before on a topic that he thought was interesting at first but later found out how bad it really was. I’ve done that before too but in glad it wasn’t for years like Dr. Berg. But yeah back to the topics my group did well the other two member picked a topic that they liked and i really didn’t have much interest for but it seemed somewhat interesting. I thought to myself i guess sometimes you can’t always do research on something you want like. So i guess “I’m just gonna have to stomach it for a couple of hours”, (yes Dr. Berg did say that in class, and i thought it was appropriate). Oh yeah today before class ended we had our first “field trip”. Well it really wasn’t much of a field trip it was more like a “we’re going to the McDowell Center and you guys are getting student ID’s or you fail the next quiz” trip so yeah i got a schoolcraft student ID now. I guess there are some benifits to it like i can use the computer lab and take out books from the library using it instead of having my class schedule with me. Oh yeah theres one more perk $3 movie tickets at emagine theaters with school id, so yeah im going to be watching more movies now. haha
