Annotated Bibliography by Jaye Hughes.

- Chalton, Nicola. "Lewis, Sinclair." Literary Lifelines. Ed. Nicola Chalton. Connecticut: Grolier Educational, 1998. 2 pages 82-83 This was a great source to find out the basics of my authors life. The facts from this book didnt go into much detail, like what I based my creative genre off of. There wasnt much information to go off of. I think that the picture of Sinclair Lewis in this book wasnt really what he looked like. It was a hnad drawn picture and it was kinda rough. I think that this source was pretty good for just starting the project.

-"Lewis, (Harry) Sinclair(1885-1951)"DISCovering Authors. online Ed. Detroit: Gale, 2003. Student Resouce Center- Gold. Gale. Fuquay Varina High school/WCPS/.20 May. 2008  This source was where I got most of my facts from. This source went more in depth with his life and the events that happened in it. I really like this source because I could read when a certain event happen and the reasons behind it. The first source that I cited for you only told me the facts and didnt explain why those things happened. There was no pictures in this source, although it was very helpful. A great source to use in the future.

-"Overview of (Harry) Sinclair Lewis"DISCovering Authors. Online Ed. Detroit: Glae, 2003. Student Resource Center-Gold.Gale.Fuquay Varina Hugh School/WCPS/.22 May.2008 This source was only about his novels and how they were thought up about. I only used this source for my poster and for the facts that I gathered.

I learned that even though I get put under pressure I can still succeed at my school work. I liked the research project because I am not very good at writing papers at all and we didnt have to write one at all. It was really fun looking things up and then making a poster. Its more visual than written. This project is the same as a regular project because you have to still look up what you need to do the poster and the creative genre. I found out that my author wanted to be in the Spanish-American War, as a drummer boy. He was nuts!!!I think that the easiest part of this project was putting the poster together, but the poster was also hard in the sense of having to put all the events in order and trying not to mess up on it at all. I chose to do the diary entries because it seemed really easy. I used the event about the spanish-american war, and tried to fill in what might have happened during that time of his life. I wish I could have turned my project in a little earlier than what I did. I think that this project is very interactive in the sense of people who are more visual learners than people who like lectures. I think the only thing that you would have to change is when you tell people about the project, dont just tell them to look in the packet, because some people dont read every word, they skim over the packet to get the general idea of what you want. Thats all that I can think of that you would have to change, but other than that, this project was fun and I enjoyed doing this project.
