Product Prospectus

1. My research question is "What was D-Day and what did it look like?"
2. The final product of this project will be a large model of the battle of D-Day.
3. This form of project was chosen because we feel that this is the best way to represent what actually happened on D-Day.
4. A definition of the finished product would be a model with cliffs and also part of the ocean with boats arriving on shore on beachheads and hedgehogs surrounding the shore.
5. The finished product will show mastery because it will answer the basic question of what was D-Day and what did it look like.
6. The task breakdown/work flow for this project will be to research, plan out the model and then to actually create it.
7. The next actions we have for the project will be to begin researching, start gathering materials, and begin to create a plan for the model.

Day 2

My next action entering the day was to find out what I would be researching and how I would present this information. I have figured out that I will be doing this project on D-Day and will present this information with a large model. Today I didn't do much since I got here late but I have figured out my question. I haven't really done anything yet to help me answer my questions since I still haven't answered the 7 questions which will be my next action for Day 3.

First Day

My next action entering the day was to get started on setting up this project.
Today I set up this blogger account and also set up a bookmark account on delicious.
This isn't really helping my research question yet because I haven't even figured out what it is going to be yet. When I do figure that out I will be able to bookmark my sources and stuff.
My next action will be to think out what my topic will be and begin to research.
