In today's lesson we are supposed to start our chapter summaries and our investigation. I decided to work on my chapter summary today since it is very easy and simple to do. The chapter that I was assigned to is chapter 2A. Instead of reading the book, which will take a long time, we had to read the chapter summaries on http://www.wikisummaries.org/The_World_Is_Flat and then create our chapter summaries. Our chapter summaries can be made in a form of PowerPoint or a video. I decided to do a PowerPoint since it is easier to do and I was familiar with creating PowerPoint's. When reading the chapter summary I thought that my task was easy, however I have to do extra research to understand the key points that Thomas Friedman is trying to make. Today I worked on my PowerPoint and researched about the factors that he thought led to flattening the world. I am almost finished with my PowerPoint, I have a few more points to search. In next lesson I will be able to finish my PowerPoint and move on to my investigation.
