Mid-Project Report on History Paper

To: Mr. Marcus

Subject: Mid-Project Report on History Paper

Here’s an update on my history paper about China. At first I had trouble finding information on my topic, but I’ve made this progress.

1. I went to the library, and Ms. Pate showed me how to use the computer for my search.
2. After I showed you my project proposal, I took your advice to look at either Chinese dating practices or wedding traditions, but not both.
3. After researching both topics, I found several sources on Chinese wedding traditions, but only a few on dating practices. So I will write about present-day Chinese wedding customs.
4. I found a Web site with information about Chinese wedding traditions at www.travelchinaguide.com.
5. For my primary research, I interviewed Donna Sung, our foreign exchange student from Shanghai, about her experiences of weddings in China.

I will finish my first draft by next Wednesday and will be on schedule for the deadlines I gave you in my project proposal.

Thanks,

Danielle
