*Sigh*  I still have to make up for other people posting on my day. Ms.Lees was not here today the the librarian Mme.Monk was teaching us today.
What did we do?
Today was our last day to use the library for research on our roles in the middle ages.
 Mme.Monk taught us at the beginning of the class the easy way of making our bibliography for books. Go to our school website: http://www.sd36.bc.ca/frshts/index2.htm and click on the library thing on the left side. Then select library catalogue and chose our school.Or you can just search up Fraser heights library on Google and click on our library which should be the first one. Click on catalogue. Search up what ever book you used and click add to this list. When you are done with all you books, click on resource list on the left. Click on my list. At the bottom of that page, you will find create and some selecting things. Find bibliography, sort by Author/Title, unclick show notes ant press go! There you have all the things on the criteria! For the rest of our block, we worked on our notes, bibliography, and our "A day in the life of..." journal for our character.
Why we did it:
 The easier way really takes less time than finding all of the data we need to make our bibliography and then writing it down. Taking advantage of our time and doing our researching saves a lot more time for you to do other stuff then homework at home. If your computer does not work at home you can use the computer at the library to do your online research. Doing this project really increases our understanding the lives of the people in the middle ages.
Connections:
 This easier way of doing a bibliography can really help when we are doing bibliography for other stuff like a science  project, where you have to do a bibliography. Learning about life in the middle ages can help us when the subject comes up again the the future. I also helped us develop researching skills that are obviously needed in the future when we need to write a paper about something that we have no idea what it is. So we have to do research on it.
Homework:
-"There will be wolves" chapter 9 questions due on Thursday
-All researching should be done by Friday
