For Today in class, I was able to spend 20 minutes in the library starting my research for hockey girdle and shin pads. The reason we had short time was because Grant presented our project to the class and we received our presentation grades back .After starting my research, I realized there is not much information on those pieces of equipment at all. After talking with my partner, we decided to throw this pieces out of our plan and decide to work on shin pads for this week. Also, during our class time, we decided to find as much pieces of old hockey equipment as we can. First, were going to start with looking in the archive at Lawrence. Second, we are going to ask and interview Cindy's dad who owns a hockey pro-shop and played hockey while growing up. Lastly, I am going to ask my old coaches in Vegas to borrow something and Grant will work on finding some as well.
For tonight, I worked in the library for half an hour starting my research for shin pads. In the beginning of hockey, they did not wear any. My goal for tomorrow is to be finishing up my article so I can get started on working on the timeline of pictures.

Sunday, 4/29
On Friday, I presented my senior project to all my classmates. While my partner was getting an MRI on his shoulder, I had to present the project by myself and felt confident about it. I know I have worked hard and I think it showed to others and to Mr. Igoe. I am very interested in my project as I am sure the people in my class realized that during my presentation.
For the weekend, I have spent 45 minutes in the library finalizing all the research, article, pictures, and timelines for this past week which was gloves. I found a lot of information and was by far the most interesting section for me so far because there are so many different brands and types of gloves. For this week, we will start the girdle and jock strap.

Wednesday, 4/25
Today was a very productive day for me. In class, I was able to work for half an hour. I started writing out responses to the questions for the presentation tomorrow. I made six notecards answering the questions that seemed most important and that related to me the most. Notecards have seemed to work the best for me in the past and like having notes to look at instead of having nothing.
For tonight, I spent an hour in the library. Most of the time was working with my partner. We finalized the poster for the first two weeks of this project. The poster covers what we did for helmets and shoulder/elbow pads. We covered a full tri-fold poster on the complete information we learned about the pieces of equipment and pictures with timelines showing the progression over time. We put a lot of work into the poster and looked at different ways to set it up. Also, tonight I continued my research on gloves and added information to my article. The gloves section has interested me the most so far as their are so many different types and brands to learn about. My goal is for everyone to learn something new about hockey equipment tomorrow in the presentation.

Tuesday, 4/24 Second Day of Gloves
Today, we did not have class because of the Cum Laude Assembly which made today have a different schedule. Because of a powerpoint for Orinthology and an essay for Mr. Curran, I was only able to spend 30 minutes on the project tonight. I continued my research on the history of hockey gloves in the library tongiht during study hall and working on my article. Since there is such a wide variety of different brands of gloves, I really have to be specific when referring to a certain type of glove. Also, my partner and I also started planning out what we are going to do for our presentation on Friday.

Monday 4/24
Today in class, my partner and I headed to the library to finish up the work from last week which consisted of elbow and shoulder pads. On friday, I had to make corrections and add on to my finalized proposal. After spending my whole class time working on that, my partner was away at Stonehill on a college visit so he wasnt able to work on the project as well. I realized the elbow and shoulder pads info were not as interesting as the helmets.
Tonight, I spent around 40 min researching the history of gloves. I found a lot of interesting material and found myself looking at a lot of the pictures of the history of gloves. I was engaged in looking at how much the gloves have changed over the years.

Thursday 4/19
Yesterday for Wednesday night, I had an away game at St. Marks as I did not get home until late. I had a lot of other homework and put off working on my senior project until tonight. I started finalizing my articles for shoulder and elbow pads working in the library for half an hour. I started researching old elbow and shoulder pads that were used back in the beginning of hockey and progressing my way up until today's equipment being used. After being in the second week, the progression over time of equipment is really unique and interesting to learn about.

Tuesday, Second week of shoulder/ elbow pads
Tuesday 4/17
Today, my partner and I continued working on our article for shoulder and elbow pads. After researching, I have realized there is more information on elbow pads than shoulder pads. Finding information is taking longer than last week with helmets.
For tonight, I blogged and am working to finalize the articles. Then, I spent some time putting together some pictures that will be set up with a timeline which I will work on more later during the week. Altogether, I spend my time doing homework in the library for a half an hour.

Start to Shoulder Pads/Elbow Pads
Monday 4/16
Today, my partner and I went to the library to start another week of different material. As planned, this week was supposed to have been spent on learning just about shoulder pads. But after researching and reading different articles, we did not find enough information that would make us spend a full week on. We decided to add elbow pads for this week as well forcing us to use two different pieces of equipment keeping us busy through this week. We started our article on shoulder pads.
For tonight's homework, I blogged and worked on creating my article for shoulder pads. I am starting from the beginning of shoulder pads when they didnt wear any at all and working my way up as they progressed. I worked for the full block in the library for class time and 30 minutes in the library at night as I do not have a working computer and the library is a better working environment.

After being busy through the weekend with on campus activites and a baseball game on friday and saturday, the work for the project for the weekend was put off until tonight.

We organized the sections and timeline to go with the pictures to set up the poster.
