 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Before I started researching on the topic chocolate I considered if there was a lot to research about and what kind of things I would research about, I decided to research the history of chocolate, the different kinds of chocolate, what chocolate is made of and where it is made and also the healthy side of chocolate.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The topic is //f//<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">or personal development because it makes me more aware of how I can make chocolate, what’s the healthy things from chocolate, the history of chocolate, where the chocolate is made and how it is made, also I will be able to apply these skills if I want to know how to make my own chocolate at home, it’s also very enjoyable because I love cooking stuff and its delicious to eat.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">We researched keywords first then we put them into sentences and made those sentences into questions then we both decided which questions we wanted to research so we both do 50/50 for this project.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">We don’t want our project to be too big so we will put all our information into a PowerPoint and present it in front of our class for about 5-10 minutes; also we are going to make a poster to make it look more fun and interesting.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">By week 5 we want to start putting our information into a poster and into an PowerPoint we want to have this finished by week 10 when it’s all finished we will start practising for the presentation till the term finished in that time we will also do some group activities and maybe add some knowledge to our project while we keep on researching in the rest of the lessons.
