Here are the sources I used for my research:

I am making a video for my final project. It will include all of the information I’ve found. I was able to answer each of the topics in my proposal. I liked doing online research, and interview Dr. Slot, one of the music teachers at SMS and my jazz bandleader, but my favorite part of the process was listening to lots of good jazz music from Preservation Hall.
Using WeVideo allowed me to break my project into parts. The first part I focused on was the images. They needed to match the facts that I put in my script. Next was the audio. I recorded my script one section at a time so that it would be easier to align the words with the images.
Lastly, I choose to make a video because I could showcase my knowledge and play music for everyone to listen to. Here are some images of me working:

One major challenge that I have had during my research process is trying to find information. It was difficult to notice all the information right away. But there is one thing that I have done to get beyond that challenge is rereading the reference whether it may be a book or an article I read the source multiple times to find further information, this has helped me find a lot of information.

So far during my research I’ve learned about myself in many ways, as a learner, as a reader/writer, and as a time manager. As a learner I learned that I like to research/learn in periods of time take a short break and get back to it. I never knew this about myself it helps to know how you learn the best so you can do your best when you are learning.

I haven’t learned to much about myself as a writer except that I either really elaborate on something or don’t elaborate on it very much. But as a non-fiction reader I learned that I like to read the whole text once to get the feel of the text after read it another time a little more closely. This helps me to begin to know what information I will be learning than read closely for all the information.

And lastly I’ve learnt about myself as a time manager, I learnt that whenever I have a lot of things to do I need to make a list. As I’m going I check of the things I complete and this helps me manage my time by knowing what I need to do next so I can plan out how much time I will need to do things, how much time I will have to do other things.

I’m making big progress so far. I have gotten a lot of research done for my subtopics, only a few to go! Wikipedia and PreservationHall.com has been the most helpful. They have both provided tons of information on my topic. I have been using boxes and bullets as a note taking strategy. It’s been helpful because the resource is the box and the bullets is all the information I’m getting.

The quality of my work seems to me really good so far, because all I’ve been doing is note taking. I haven’t started my final project yet. It is hard to find exactly what you are looking for so you have to think about how this relates to what you are looking for, I’ve been doing that so that makes the work I’m doing unique.
