yesterday during the mentor class we talked about how to select the research plan, so I am going to use the criteria that is used in the personal project workbook, but I am not going to use author as a criteria I am going to use editor, because some authors are not well known even though the book is.
I am going to show all the books and sites that I read and which ones I think are the most relevant.
(this was written in 27th of November)
Today I went to a museum with my oma wich I personally found  intresting, but it is not part of the mais agenda of amsterdam, so I was thinking 'bout doing a part called "intresting places"
I will tell a litlle bit more 'bout it in the next post.

Planning


How am i going tto structure the book basically is going to have

-Amsterdam Introduction:
-How to walk around?
-Basic information:
-Planning days :
-Day one:
Top points agenda.
Non-missing points
Rest moments
Food and drink suggestions;
Shop suggestions
-Day two and three:
(same structure as the day one)
-Map
-More information in...

So yesterday I went to the library and I found so much information about Amsterdam , so I took 4 books, but I will just post the names of each one when I finish reading them.
I decided that i have to organise myself so I can make everything I am planning to do.
I ve been reading
Hidden Treasures| Amsterdam | I amsterdam
it is nice and bring some diferent points tha i didn't see in other guides and I think that is nice, like doing something unique, and in a city that is so movimentad like Amsterdam is always nice to do something different, but the guide was made by people that already know how walk in amsterdam so they don't put the tipical information in the guide.

I know I've been distant, because I have been irresponsible, I have no problem saying that I advanced not even a little with my personal project, but I really wanted to have evoluted, but I'm at a new school, everything is new to me and I know it is not excuse, the truth is I have been irrespossavel and disorganized, I realize I could have tried harder in school, and just leaving everything for the end of time, and I do not really want to see something more incomplete, but I want to do my project.
Well this Monday I had a meeting with my supervisor, and we talked about my specifications that made me feel excited again, I know it can be fun, if I push myself, I really want to know more about amsterdam.
I was thinking of doing a week tur my right, making the ideas of other sites and books I've been reading ... then I'll be able to have more to say about what I want in my guide ...
I'll post the planning of the week in a few minutes, and some sites that I found interesting despite being in Portuguese

this Monday I talked to my supervisor and some questions and specifications were not clear in my project, so i had two main questions to solve:

  • For which age am I going to write my personal project?
  • Do I have a specific public?
I've been thinking, actually the best public wold be between 25 and 30, people that also like to party but have some kind of interest in culture and museums.
In the begin i was thinking 'bout doing the guide for  Brazilians, but for that wold be better if I wrote the guide in Portuguese, but doing this my teachers wouldn't be capable to read my project.
So I have to think more deeply in this point.

By reading my fathers idea, I decided to start from the main points that are most known by the tourists and are where people want to go in the first time they come to Amsterdam, so I  will do my agenda to go and analyse this places as price and the age that mostly enjoy the activity or place.
So I'll start visiting places as soon as possible.
I was thinking 'bout start from the central station and walk to  the places near by, cause the central station is where lots of tourists arrive.
