**items you** **worked on** **and/or** **completed** **each day.** || * **What road did you choose?** **Thoughts** **Reflections** **Concerns** **Inspirations** **Contemplations** || Topic || Today I chose hockey as my research topic. I chose hockey because i play the sport and i feel i can relate and understand it the most out of all the topics i brainstormed. I also hope to learn many new things that i had not known about hockey before over the course of the project. || -bibliography || I chose my topic because I play the sport hockey.For the past couple of years, i've been interested in learning the history of the sport and how it came to be. I'm still happy about my decision because I learned a lot of new information on this topic that will be great to know for future reference. What interested me on this topic is that it's been around since the 1800's. This project helped me with the understanding of the history of the NHL and how the sport came to be.However, it didn't help with the understanding of the sport in general since its a big factor in my life.

Over the course of the project, i've collected many facts on about 6 different branches off of the topic hockey. I reasearched the original six, modern NHL, women's hockey, equiptment, the history of the sport, and penalties. Even though I collected enough information for 6 FQI's I cut out the information on penalties and did 5 FQI's.During the course of the pass couple of weeks, Mrs.Dabrush helped me with the organization because she taught the class many different examples of genre's to work from. (I chose questions 1,3, 4 and 8). ||
