4EL Daily Progress Report
Leader: Ricky L.
 * Date || Accomplishments || Goals for Next Rotation ||
 * 2/23/2010 (February 23, 2010) || We wrote down some research questions that we are going to try to find the answer at home tonight--maybe. || We will try to find some facts about the Chinese Citizens. ||
 * 2/24/2010 (February 24, 2010) || We accomplished last time's goal, which was to find facts about Chinese Citizen, and we were really surprised that the most amount of people killed in the flood was 3565, but 1.4 million people had to move. But on this web, http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jan/22/wave-tidal-hydropower-water, it said that it was only 1.2 million people, so we were kind of confused and we had a long discussion. Finally, we thought that http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/1595327.stm was right because it was BBC and BBC was news, and more people looked at it. http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/1999/china.50/asian.superpower/three.gorges/ was also a great website, it was CNN and it had lots of information on the Three Gorges. || Look at some videos and images next time so we can understand more. ||
 * 2/25/2010 (February 25, 2010) || We read half of an article called The Three Gorges Project by Micheal Pollard. We added some more facts to our pro and cons sheet like how many people were moved from Wanxian. || Find out what well-drained means. ||
 * 3/1/2010(March 1, 2010) || At first, we separated us into two groups (since we had two computers) to research. Next we found out only one fact in the Cons. Then our group decided to find some videos since we didn't watch any yet. We found some videos about the Chinese Citizens. //But it took A LOT of time, since there were some problems in laptop 63 and laptop 55//, Ricky L. and Angela S. thinks. So we only found two little videos. One, we thought that it would give us a lot of facts but didn't. The second one was in Chinese but it took lots of time to understand it, and it was only about the Three Gorges dam and was for the Engineers. (They found it too.) All of a sudden, times up! Time goes so fast!!!!!! || Look at some videos that actually can tell us some facts about the Chinese Citizens. ||
 * 3/2/2010 (March 2, 2010) || We found some really useful images in the Laptop Lab and some great websites like[| http://drake.marin.k12.ca.us/stuwork/rockwater/Upload%20this%20doc--dams%20and%20hydropower%20report/pros%20and%20cons.html], this was a web about PROS and CONS of the Three Gorges. || Add more pros and cons and maybe finish the list. ||
 * 3/3/2010 (March 3, 2010) || We found a lot of cons in a website: [|http://sun.menloschool.org/~sportman/ethics/project/topics/zider/con.html]and we added it to our resources and looked at some slide shows that had some great information and pictures. || Our goal is to finish the pros and cons sheet. ||
 * 3/4/2010 (March 4, 2010) || We went to [] and looked at some parts about the width, the length, height of the Three Gorges and we also saw the official name of the Three Gorges and it was in Chinese. We completed our goal from last time. || Look for more images and videos. ||
 * 3/5/2010 (March 5, 2010) || We worked on the presentation planning sheet and found supporting statements from our pros and cons. We wrote opinions about a lot of places will be covered under the reservoir. Also about the dam in the earthquake zone. We wrote facts about Three Gorges Dam. || Finish the presentation planning sheet and start the PowerPoint and look for images. ||
 * 3/8/2010 (March 8, 2010) || We looked for powerful images that supports our text in the power point.We also started on our power point. So far, we did three pages on PowerPoint. || Work on more of the PowerPoint. ||
 * 3/9/2010 (March 9, 2010) || We worked on the PowerPoint.We added two more slides about an earthquake zone, and how people had to move (including the photos of before the gorges dam was built, after, and when it was built). And we also found more images.We also looked up what fault line meant. We found out that if a fault line was triggered (which would probably be by the humongous weight of the Three Gorges and its reservoir) then, there would be a huge earthquake and will send a torrent of water downstream. || Finish the PowerPoint with excellence! ||
 * 3/11/2010 (March 11, 2010) || We almost finished our PowerPoint. We also found some more powerful pictures for our PowerPoint.And, we tried to make the pictures in the PowerPoint not fancy just plain. || Finish the PowerPoint and practice the speech to get a good grade on our presentation. ||
 * 3/12/2010 (March 12, 2010) || We finished working on our PowerPoint.And practiced our speech which is last times goal. We think we are prepared and ready to do the presentation.Right now, we're just adding the finishing touches to our PowerPoint, and were usinig our awesome PowerPoint tools to make it good. =-p Happy Us! || Finish practicing for the presentation. ||
