For journal 1 and 2, we were introduced about integrated learning. Ms. McInnes and Mr. Nobles thought us about the research engines. And Ms. McInnes showed us EBSCOhost and the difference of it from other databases. For journal 3, me and my partner, Phuong, and also with the help of Ms. lawless brainstorm ideas to our topic such as "Alcohol on teenagers", " People who come from other countries mainly sticks to the cuisine from their home country", and also "Depression and teenagers". With these topics in mind, i want to focus more with something that i could relate to and also something that my partner, Phuong, would be comfortable to do. I also did some few researched about these topics wherein i found some few informations that caught my interest. And the most topic that caught my eyes is "Depression and Teenagers" so i discussed it with phuong and phuong agreed that we should do it as our topic. for journal 4 after we picked our topic, which is "depression and Teenagers", we did an inspiration map for it. Then around week 4 Aisha joined our group.

For week 5, we divided which part of the guiding questions each of us will be doing: Then i did some researched on statistics of depression amongst teenagers which i found a lot of informations about it. Such as up to five percent of adolescents experience depression that is severe enough to warrant treatment, and around 20% of young people will have experienced significant depressive symptoms by the time they reach adulthood and also for women they usually experience their first episode of depression during their reproductive years (aged 15 to 45 years) while for men aged 15 to 24 their rates of suicide for the past 30 years have tripled.

 * JOURNAL 6**
 * For week 6, i planned on how and what im going to do with my guiding questions that is given to me.
 * Ms. Lawless introduced us techniques and how to do our proposal.

For journal 7 I structure my draft and final proposal with the help of the worksheet about preparing our proposal that Ms lawless had given us. And with it I brainstormed ideas on how I would be doing my research processes, ethnics/safety and what is the capability of our research. While I was structuring my proposal I realised that the only problem that we could come across our research is how well we will do our research for our topic and also how we will present the overall of our paper.

For journal 8, I made an account at the website of www. surveymonkey.com so that I could start on our surveys. For our survey questions I come up with questions such as: 1. Do you/ have you experience depression? 2. If yes, how did depression affected your life? If no, then what do you think of how depression affected teenagers life? 3. What do you think is the cure for depression? 4. What do you think is the cause of depression? 5. How many teenagers do you know has/had depression? 6. Do you think it’s a growing problem amongst teenagers? 7. Who do you think you can go to for help when you have depression? 8. If you have a friend whose undergoing depression would you help them? And how? With the above questions, I’m planning on showing them to Ms. Lawless to get a feedback on whether or not the questions are appropriate for our topic.

For journal 9, i showed my survey questions to Ms Lawless and changed some few parts like numbers: 1. Do you/ have you experienced depression or anxiety? 3. Is there a cure for depression? 5. How many teenagers do you know who has/had depression or anxiety? 6. Do you think it’s a growing problem amongst teenagers? I think that from handing out our survey, i wanted to get at least as much information as i can about our topic so that i could have an idea and a source of what teenagers think of depression. The only problems i think that i could encounter while handing out our survey online is that my account might get crashed and i wouldnt be able to access it and also some of the questions might not have been answered by them.

For journal10, i spread our surveys online, facebook, and got at least a total of 12 response back. I also decided to take over Aisha's guiding question since she's not always around.
 * JOURNAL10**

for journal11, I read stories about depression on teenagers on the website [|www.youthbeyondblue.com]. Wherein i got to read stories regarding other teenagers depression, how they got depression, how they feel about it, how affected them, how they would use or thinking of using methods such as smoking, smoking weed, drinking, suicidal thoughts, and violence just to get through their episode of depression. After reading those stories, it came to my mind that depression can be a serious problem if you didnt get or asked for help about it. I think that the reason why read stories about other teenagers depression is so that i could know their side of the story and i could get the background of how they feel about it. 12
 * JOURNAL11(term4)**

for journal12, i come across the problem of not being able to open my surveymonkey account. And the picture below kepts on appearing whenever i open my account. And with what happened i decided to hand our surveys personally instead. Me and Phuong, split the 20 surveys in half wherein she got 10 surveys and i got 10 surveys too to hand down. I think that the problems we could come across handing our surveys is the same with what i said to my journal9, that some of our survey questions wouldnt be answered, and i also think that some of their answers to questions wouldnt be significant or they answered a different answer from our questions.
 * JOURNAL12**

for week3 term 4, I had my oral with Ms Lawless. Wherein i got to talked to her about what our research is, our guiding questions, which of the five capabilities that were using in our topic, and about where i am in our research. I think that i'm okay with what I got in my oral, but i think that i should have done better on it like talk more about our topic, the five capabilities that were using and where i am in our research. I also think that what hindered me with my oral is my capability of speaking. i think that my capability of speaking hindered my presentation since my first language is Filipino and my speaking into explaining things or informations needs more improvement since i'm not a good talker.
