Progress+Reports

As the time gets closer to our final day i have started to get my speech flow with my slides. I have applied pictures that can help me prove my point about steroids in baseball. I have almost finished my powerpoint, and my speech is coming to an end as well. I have just been trying to finish up my power point and start to memorize my speech.

Progress Report 12/1/09 As my project near i have many things to think about. I have to find out how i will do my slide show, how i will do my hands on, and how i will speak to my audience. The main thing i have to work on right now is my hands on part of my project. I have a toss up between a video that i will show how steriods help the body, or i will do a survey with students of differents sports that will show if they would take steroids to improve their play, to make extra money or to be a superstar. I will make up my mind during this week and so far it looks like i am aiming towards the survey part of this instead of the video but we will see how this week goes.

Michael's Mentor Progress Report 11/20** As i helped mike with his project is has become very easy for him because he knows so much already with his topic. As we got to do his paper though he had some troubles connecting it with how steroids really effect the body and sport in general. As this project is coming to an end he has to stay focused on getting done his power point and his hands on. We already made a lot of surveys that he is going to hand out to other sports atheletes that will say if they would take steroids for various reasons. Then we will stay focused on the power point which is the main point in this project. This will show with detailed facts the way steroids are ruining the game of baseball and how we can make it better with more testing and better peaniltes.

As mark started this project he had no idea what he wanted to do in it. He started out with sharks, then he changed it to sports injuries. He has gotten a lot of great information from this as he is starting to get a real good understanding on how injuries occur in sports. He was going to talk to the tranior for his hands on to see if he could spend the day with her and go over various types of injuries that someone might occur. As for his powerpoint we are going to make sure he describes many things that occur when you get a certain injury and how we can fix them, and also new ways that they are trying to reduce the risk of injury so these players dont suffer threw them for the rest of their lives.

First Progress Report 10/8/09 For my project i have accomplished many things over the past couple of weeks. I have learned alot more about baseball and steriods then i new before i started this. I aslo learned more about doing projects and thesis statements that should be known for the future. I also set out many goals for myself that i have accomplished. I set out to be a better student and focus in class, i set out to learn about a very interesting topic and i also learned alot about projects and thesis statements that i havent known before.

Before the next progress report i would like to be farther in my project for example know even more about performance enhancing drugs in baseball then i do know. I would like to find a video on my topic so i can use it in my project. I would also like to make a video about myself and the affects of steriods in baseball. In the last week my mentor has helped me do my thesis, and they have also asked me how my topic was going and if i needed anymore further help. I asked my father about how steriods really change a person and he informed me more on it and the affects of the drugs.

Second Progress Report 10/28/09 Over the last week i have accomplished many things. I have finished my final proposal and i got my idea for my video. I have learned more information for my project such as records that were beaten by players that supposedly took performance enhancing drugs. I set out more goals for myself such as finish as my homework, stay on task and try to finish my video for my project.

Before the next progress report i would like to have my video completed. I would also like to have my powerpoint started and try to finish my paper. My mentor over the last week has helped me with information on players in baseball. He directed me to players that were accused of taking these drugs, as well as players from his days that were good that could be possibly using at the time of their carrer.

Thrid Progress Report 11/4/09 Over the last week i have accomplished many things such as more research, and my rough draft of my paper. I have incoorperated most of my notes in this paper and i have added my opion to this paper. In this week and hopefully next i will do my hands on which would be a video of myself, and also the video and risks about taking steriods.

Before the next progress report i would like to have my paper fully finished or close to it. As i get more into this paper i start to learn more and more so i would like to have my hands on completly finihsed but if i come close to finishing it then i will figure it will be a good accomplishment for me and my project.
