1/28

    My research is about Hitler and The Holocaust. I have background information on World War two since that was going on during that time. I found a lot of  articles, books, databases, and encyclopedias on the Holocaust, Hitler, and World War Two. People had a lot to say about this topic, because it was such a big deal. I have learned a lot about this, because there is so much information on this. Hitler has killed millions, and harmed even more.
   Hitler was a very cruel man. He took power in Germany, and started the concentration camps to kill the Jewish people inGermany. He had a strong hate for Jews, and wanted all of them to be gone. He also started sub camps to help with things, where the Jews who were working were meant to be kept alive to work, but they weren't. Hitler is the cause of the Holocaust, and is the reason that so many million people were killed

1/22 post 1

       So far in my research I have found a lot of things. I found a lot on the holocaust itself, and on Hitler. A lot of my bibliographies are finished, and I just have a few more to annotate. I have started on a few notecards, but they need some work on them, and I have more that still need to be finished.
       I found a lot of good books that will help a lot, and teach me a lot of the things that I need to know.  I have spent a lot of time doing research and trying to find good resources. I found a lot of databases and articles on different things that I need. I needed to find resources on World War 2, the Holocaust, and Hitler. I found a lot of helpful resources, but i also found a good but of resources that weren't helpful.


Reading times:

1/14 reading

    I recently started a book called Awakened, by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast.  P.C. Cast wrote this book along with the help of her daughter Kristen.  I really have been enjoying this book, even though I have not gotten really into it. The beginning was not a real eye opener for me, but the book got a lot better really fast. Before I knew it I did not want to put the book down and stop reading it, I wanted to see what was going to happen next, and that doesn't happen to often when I am reading.
  Awakened started off with Neferet waking up because of an irritation, and she just wanted Kalona, but where was he? This book is deep, and dark, and is a very easy read, that is also very enjoyable. As you read it you get caught up into it, and keep reading it, keep wanting to know what is going on and what will happen next. Where will they go? You just want to know everything about the book.



Reading Times:
Awakened- 70 min. p.1-65
Research- 90 min. bibliographies and notecards
