am I.... Am I finished?

I just completed the annotated bibliography for Scott Westerfeld's Uglies - high fives anyone? :D

I sat for a moment and thought, "With all the work I've put into this project... It can't be finished just like that, can it?"
I'm finding it hard to believe I'm finished (besides the response I'll have to do for the project come exam day).

But... I am finished, aren't I?




I'm going to cry tears of joy - I'm so happy. A ton of weight lifted off my shoulders.
Seriously, people in my ENG 3U/4U class, the summative has to be SO much easier than an exam.
I really hope you finish in time if you're doing the summative - it feels

I'm midway through my Nineteen Eighty-four annotated bibliography but my brain keeps jumping ahead to Uglies.

Uglies will be the final dialectical journal and annotated bibliography I need to complete (I'm so excited at this point) but I've been so caught up in completing summatives and studying for exams that I haven't had a chance to read the final 60 pages of the book.


Is it necessary to include the ending of the book into my summaries? 

I was really hoping to erase the Uglies off of my To Do list today, but if reading the end is mandatory for the summary... It won't be gone till Monday I hope

So I've collected all of the quotes for my dialectical journals (YAY!) but when comparing the journals with the annotated bibliography I noticed something either extremely convenient or I'm suffering from misconceptions.

Both the journal and annotated bibliography include a summary of the book, alright so copy one and paste it to the other, right? Whatever.

What confuses me is this:

After confirming, I realized that the "Reflect" part of the dialectical journal is meant to answer how the book relates to my inquiry question.

One down, 6 more to go

I'd consider what's posted as the "Article Essay" to be a rough draft - revisions need to be made!

6 more days till this whole project is due and I have yet to complete 3 dialectical journals and 3 annotated bibliographies. All-nighters for me it seems. It's either this inquiry project, where help is found around every corner, or sitting in solitude for 2 hours working on an exam.

Not a hard decision.

IT CAN BE DONE! :D

There are three final components required to complete before the my presentation:
  • article essay
  • dialectical journal
  • annotated bibliography


I've just finished book two of my project, John Wyndham's "The Chrysalids." Upon completion I wanted to finish the dialectical journal and annotated bibliography before moving onto my final book. As I've begun working on these two components, I've put aside my article essay - missing the initial due date. I know that the due date is flexible (until the final one in June) but missing this date makes the project feel all the more overwhelming.

As a note to my ENG 3U teacher, introducing such a large project so late in the semester... is a lot. I know I'll get things done eventually, but as of now I don't want to do a thing because it's so overwhelming. 
Next year, let us know about such a project earlier!

annotated poems - what should be done?

Upon completing what I think is an okay polished copy of my poetry analysis essay, I linked my annotated poems to the page.
Curious though... should a link be added to the online sources ("Conforming to Society," and "Crumbling Within") even though the print is relatively legible? And, should a link be added to those online sources, what should I do about the poem I discovered in An Anthology of Canadian Aboriginal Literature in English? Should I find an online source or just say tough luck if you don't have the book?

Details! Details! Details!
