1 For two weeks we have been meeting, talking and defining research. Take time to think over the last 14 classes and reflect on what we've talked about and what you've learned.

1. Make a list of what you've learned about research:
It is not something you only do in school - you research everyday - figuring out what to wear, where to eat,what car to buy etc. There are lots of resources to choose from and you need to evaluate which ones are really true and the author knows what he or she is talking about. There are on-line resources, books, people, places - LOTS of resources available on and off line.

2. How have your thoughts and ideas about research changed?
I'm hoping my students have a different idea about what research is - it is NOT something just done when their teacher gives them an assisignment, but something that impacts their everyday lives.

Now that you've chosen the person to research for your bio poem here is the information you will need to complete the poem:

1. His or her complete name. **Sir Edmund Hillary** 2. His/her title **Sir Hillary** 3. His/her occupation Beekeeper, mountain climber 4. Four words to describe the person. **motivated, daring, prepared, restless** 5. Three items, objects or ideas important to this person books, people, adventure 6. Three things this person wanted to succeed, to help people of the Himalayas, to make a difference 7. Three things this person used in his/her work or life that was important to them or their success. Oxygen, crampons, sherpas 8. Three things this person gave to the world, his/her occupation, people etc. excitement, support to protect the Himalayas, Help to the Nepalese people 9. Who said - look for a direct quote "Set your sights high" 10 His/her last name or a synonym Conqueror of Mt Everest
