<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,serif; font-size: 15pt;">**four** <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,serif;"> **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Comic Sans MS,serif;">of the nine questions listed here: **

Why did you choose your topic? Are you still happy with your choice?
 * //Why did i choose this topic? well i didn’t have any idea what i was goin to do so i asked my friend and he told me to do this topic, And yes i am still happy with my choice//**

What goals did you have for your research? Did you meet those? //**My goals was to do a good job and learn more about this topic and its history. Yes i think i did meet this goals.**//

What facts about your topic interested you most? Did this kind of project help you get a better understanding of your topic than you might have with a more traditional kind of research paper? If so, why and in what ways did it help? //**I learned alot more about my topic, i learned about stuff that i never even heard of. My favorite part or what interested me the most was when i read about all of the the top ten most famouse hackers, someof these hackers put there skills to good use a helped the goverment by hacking into the goverment and testing there safety and protection. I enjoyed doing this whole project on the computer because i could get really good and new information about hackng and the people that do it.**//

How much information did you collect? How easy or hard was it to find information? //**I collected a lot of information on and about my topic, because i really like this topic i could and did read for hours on the internet about the history and about the different kinds of hackers. It was very easy to find information on my topic, i would just google search and i would always get what i was looking for.**//

What did you learn about the research process from this project? Consider: the best places to find certain kinds of information; what sources are most credible; the best order for conducting your investigation; how to record information and sources; anything else that you learned or that confirmed what you already knew. //**I learned that the best to find good information is by google searching waht you are looking for then clicking on the links that have most of the words that you searched. I try to avoid going to wikipedia because its not writen by people that are exspertis in this field. Once you get to a good web site skim over the artical and see if its good and has what you are looking for, if i does then read it or skim to find out where the information is that you are looking for. Also always take notes as you are reading and try not to**//

What strengths did you use as a writer in this project? What new strengths did you discover? //**I used my strength at being able to quickly read over a artical because i had to read alot of stuff on the internet it was easy being able to read through it quickly. I discovered that i had a really good note takeing skill that i never knew i had.**//

What criteria did you use in deciding on the genres to include in your paper? What piece was the hardest or most challenging to write? Why? The most fun or interesting? Why? //**The hardest?... i would have to say that writeing a poem was very hard because i have never been able to write a poem and i think i did okay on it. The most fun would have to be the top ten list because i learned about the most famouse hackers ever and it was very fun learning what it was that they did also that the most famouse hacker that i found was only 16.**//

How did you decide on the organization of the pieces into a cohesive whole? Consider not only organization but use of transitional devices and packaging. //**Well i really don’t know how i organized it..**//

What did you learn by working with your peers on revising and editing? Did they give you helpful advice? What was most helpful to you? What kinds of things did you learn from reading their pieces? //**I didn’t do any revising with my peers but my friend did read over my poem and he thought that it was good.**// ||
