Project 3: Alzheimers Awareness.Since November is Alzheimer's awareness month, I thought it would be a great idea for me to use this time learn more about this awful disease and help raise awareness for it. I read the book "Still Alice" by Lisa Genova, wrote my own research paper and designed a t-shirt to sell, all the proceeds will be donated the Alzheimer's Association. By clicking the link below you can donate to Alzheimers Research Foundation.

Elephant Design
With the creation of my club, I designed a t-shirt to go with it. The shirt is purple for Alzheimer's awareness. I decided the logo should be an elephant because they have great memories, making the t-shirt ironic. I am selling these t-shirts throughout school and the community.

Research Paper
I wrote a research paper on Alzheimer's disease. I took loads of notes and after I reviewed them asked myself 6 questions that I thought were important. I then picked 3 of them to dig deeper into. From that, I hand wrote my first draft of my paper. After editing it, I typed it up and re-edited it two more times.

"Still Alice"
For English, I read the book, "Still Alice". For each chapter, I asked myself a why question, forcing myself to answer with reasoning. I also wrote summaries for every chapter that I house on my blogger.
