Brandon O'Connell (Milk Chocolate) Research Project Journal Entry #1 22nd of February. On the First week of RPR we looked at examples of previous Research Projects. We collected many sheets from the Harvard Referencing System to Learning Styles. We were then Told that we can work in a group or individually for this Project. During that Lesson I formed a Team which I renamed in to Team HUA, which consists of Myself, Alex Hua, Jeanny Lieu, Paul Sakatunoff, Corey Partridge & Anwar Nader.

In the Second Week we did Activities on our Learning Styles. I found out I am a Tactile Learner. In Class we Brainstormed many ideas from Portesting against St Clair, to Pollution, we had many ideas but we couldnt figure out what we wanted to stick to.

In the Third week we Argued over more Ideas to do, we couldnt keep a good idea.

Term 2 Week 1 This week we have written replys to Rosemarey our RSPCA helper which is helping us organise trips and answer questions for our project. As a team we decided the distance of the Lonsdale Animal shelter and the location is a bit of a worry for us do we decided not to go. We have also looked up other animal shelters and decided that if we can get to them since they are closer to us its a better option.

Term 2 Week 2 We got a reply from rosemary, she said that maybe we should switch organisations if we would want to look up other animal shelters, as a group we decided it wouldnt be a good idea to switch at this late stage. We then had another discussion on going to Lonsdale and we voted yes to go, although we are aprehensive with the distance away from school we are still going to go.

Week 3 We Emailed RSPCA about making cupcakes to raise money for them. We also started on our Power Point Presentation for our project. We also completed some survey questions to ask Rosemarey. We also thought of writing a letter to Ms Edwards about helping us fund our Cupcakes.

Week 4 We went to a supermarket to check prices on the cupcake ingredients. Got our Recepies Talked to Mr street about helping us get the school to help fund our cupcakes as the principal and deputy are at Melbourne at the moment. Continued with the Power Point Presentation

Week 5 We asked Ms Edwards for money to help sponsor us, she didnt want to at first but we talked her into it. She asked us if we could give at least $50 back to her if she gave us all the money for the cupcake recipe. We put a bulletin up to make people aware of Cupcake day We then changed the price to $2 from 50c

Friday Cupcake Day! Started at 9:00 in the morning in the Home Ec Room Sold some Cupcakes at recess, then made alot more at lunch time Overall we made around 375 cupcakes and raised about $200
