Week #___1_ Date: 10/26/2016_____	This week I began my research for my passion project which is going to be focused on teaching history and where I received my aspirations in doing so.	A difficulty that I am envisioning for this project will be how to organize my presentation.	Next week I plan on sending out an email to the teacher that truly gave me the inspiration to be a middle school history teacher.  In this email I will send a list of questions for him to answer that I will put in my presentation.
Week #__2__ Date: 11/4/2016_____	This week I found the mentor for my project.  His name is Steve Olson and he is an 8th grade History Teacher in Watertown. I compiled a list of 9 questions, he answered them, and I plan on using it as a big portion of my project.  He is the main reason I am on the career path that I am. He is truly a great man and a great teacher.	As of right now the difficulties I envisioned for this project has not changed.	Within the next week I plan on organizing my project a little bit more. Trying to plan how to incorporate my interview questions and finding other aspects will be a large portion of that.
Week #__3__ Date: _11/_11___	For the project this week I began to put my project together using a PowerPoint. It is a rough outline of what it will look like but I have a good idea of how I would like it to look once it is complete. I envision it being around 8-10 slides with quality information.	A difficulty I am having is what else to put in project. I have the interview which will take up a good portion of the project, but what else? Any thoughts?	I would like to have most of, if not all, of my project thought about my next week. I would like to have some of the kinks worked out so I can keep plugging away.
Week #__4__ Date: __11/19___	This week I have decided to devote most of my problem to a Power Point. I feel this is the best way to organize my thoughts and to present my project coherently.	I am truly picking things up well and things are starting to come together, so I am not really struggling at this point.	My goal for next week is to have the project completed and emailed to you to see what you think.
Week #_5___ Date: __11/26___	I have completed the interviews and made the power point so I am done with the project and ready to present.
