2. There are three movie scenes that are discussed and only two of them support why I think that The Day After Tomorrow has movie scenes that could actually happen in reality. The first one in the article talks about the scene in the movie where the temperatures in New York City plummet from sweltering to freezing in hours. The NCAR says that this is possible in reality but it wouldn't happen as fast or dramatically as in the movie. The second movie scene that is talked about is the scene when Tornadoes strike Los Angeles and grapefruit sized hail falls on Tokyo, Japan. The NCAR says that research has shown that Global Warming might lead to more intense hurricanes and certain other types of storms like the tornadoes and hail shown in the movie. Also the NCAR mentions that scientists can't even pinpoint how the effects of the tornadoes and hail in the movie would be n reality, even with the world's most powerful super computers.

1. Today I didn't make more progress with the synthesis and planning but I did make progress with getting up to date with my index cars.

  2. read the stuff above.

  3. I have already answered my research question. The answer is yes.

  4. My next action is to work on my synthesis and planning plus creation but go in a different direction by which I mean stop working on The Day After Tomorrow for a bit.

  1. My next action entering into the day was to complete the third step of my plan called the final plan or synthesis and planning. That third step was to find research that supported why I thought the movie, the Day after Tomorrow relates to Global Warming. I found more than one piece of research. 

  2. Today I did what I said in the above answer.

  3. I have already answered my research question.

 4. My next action is to get more research supporting my theory mentioned in question 1

  2. This article is an article that supports why I think the day after tomorrow relates to Global Warming. I only focus on a small part of the article because it is the only part that supports my theory. It has something to do with the gulf Stream.

  2. The article supports why I think the Day after tomorrow relates to Global Warming. The article says what happens in the movie could possibly happen in real life, though it would take over a century or more. Also that the movie does have accurate facts.

  1. My next action entering into the day was to finish the rough draft of the final plan, or my synthesis and planning. 

 2. Today I made up steps to work on the edit draft of the final plan, and steps to finishing the synthesis and planning. Also I made two new index cards, and tagged and bookmarked new information on my delicious account. I also made this daily progress post. 

  3. I have already answered my research question. 

  4. My next action is to start on the steps to finishing  the synthesis and planning for the exhibition project or my presentation.

article that has the image of the flu virus incased in ice, and the story that goes with that image, also this is index card 31

  2. This article talks about how scientists found flu viruses encased in ice in the Siberian lakes which warns the possibility of there being deadly prehistoric viruses encased in the melting glaciers which are melting because of Global Warming. This image is going to be the end of my presentation on Exhibition night.

  1. My next action entering into the day was to work more on the final plan for my presentation of my project for exhibition night.

  2. Today I got the middle part of my presentation finished and started the ending part of my presentation. I also came up with some ideas for the ending and found articles and images for the ending.

  3.  I have already answered my research question.

 4.  My next action is to finish the final plan for my presentation.

 1. My next action entering into the day was to make a final plan for the presentation.

 2. Today I started the final plan.

 3. My research question has already been answered at this point.

 4. My next action is to finish the final plan for the presentation.

  1. So far I have accomplished the following on this project: a total of 30 index cards on my blog, enough useful information on my delicious account, a research question, the answer to my research question, a selection of a mode for the presentation,  enough daily progress posts to keep me at an A, the product prospectus, the creation of my blog, and the creation of my delicious account. 

 2.  At this moment the things I have left to do for this project is the following:  get a visual idea of how my presentation will look like how it will progress through Exhibition night, a plan for the final production, the creation of the project, preparation for the in-class presentation of my project, the presentation of my project on Exhibition night, and a reflection blog post that will be created after Exhibition night.

  3. When Mr. Nilsen first gave us the rubric for this project and explained it, I knew it was going to be really hard, so I didn't expect anything to be easy.

 4.  Nothing has really been easy, but in my mind, this is the kind of work that isn't supposed to be easy. This is high school work and as a person's high school years go by, the work gets harder and harder. This is the type of work that is proof that I'm in high school ( I know I'm in high school, I don't need proof.)

5.  I wouldn't do my project differently if I could start over because so far the work I have done on this project has kept me at an A. Also I like the research question I chose and the mode of my presentation is really cool.

 6. Right now, I'm going to get what I can done, and then when it comes to the point where its the last class to work on the project before Spring Break I will review the rubric and see whats left to be done. I will just take it one day at a time.
