I pretty much do the same stuff every week. This week however I didn't outline as much of Roberts rules of order. Instead of outlining the book, I watched videos at home of national performances of parliamentary procedure. Watching these videos will help me understand the terms better and prepare for the regional parliamentary procedure test. I took the 300 questions test once more and did not do too hot. I think this was the worst I've done. I got a 73%. The first part was the terms which I'm pretty solid with. The second part was rules. I only answered the ones I knew because what's the point of guessing? As I get deeper into my book I will hopefully learn the rules better and score better. Next week I plan on focusing more on the book and also compare it to "Roberts rules of order in brief" because it is smaller and it looks simple and the library has a copy. Yolo.

This week I continued reading and outlining Roberts Rules of Order. I outlined the next chapter which was titled "The deliberative assembly: its types and their rules." In this chapter it goes deeper into the deliberative assembly and its rules. So a deliberative assembly is any kind of gathering where parlimentary procedure is used. The group often meets in one room, or any area where everyone has an equal opputunity to speak. In the deliberative assembly everyone has the right to speak and all members votes hold equal weight. The failure to vote does nkt lead to withdrawl. This chapter also goes into the differences between assemblies, meetings, and sessions. So I took the 300 questions practice quiz again. I GOT A 92.5% ON THE TERMS!!!!! NOW IM DEFINITELY WINNING THE STATE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE!!! SHUT UP EMMA!!!!! =October 5th, 2015=

This week I continued reading Roberts Rules of Order and outlining it in my notebook. At the end of the week I took an online quiz on 300questions.org. 300 questions is an "interactive, self-scoring study aid for the 100-question NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PARLIAMENTARIANS® Membership Examination, originally developed for self-study, may also be used as a teaching tool." I took the terms section of the quiz which was 40 questions. I got an 82.5% so I guess I'm winning the state leadership conference. As I continue to read my book I will continue to take the quiz starting from the beginning and adding one section at a time. This will help me be a champ and do well on the FBLA Regional parliamentry procedure test.

I have started my independent study by reading Roberts Rules of Order. I purchased a composition notebook to outline it. So far I have outlined the introduction. I have learned a couple of vocab words in what I have read.


 * Deliberative Assembly** - //any kind of gathering where parliamentary law is applicable.//


 * Rules of order** - //any written parliamentary laws so adopted.//

Parliamentary law was the name of the rules and customs for carrying business in the English parliament. According to a widely held view, the parliamentary process dates back to the ways of life in Anglo-Saxon tribes before their migration to Britain. The Anglo-Saxons had the largest regularly existing political unit. I am going to continue outlining the book in my composition notebook and probably take a few practice quizzes this week. I will use the 300 questions practice quizzes online to gauge how much I have learned.

For my independent study I will be studying parliamentary procedure and preparing for the FBLA regional leadership conference and the state leadership conference. I plan on reading Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised and outlinining it as my learning journals to prepare myself for the regional leadership conference. I will also be taking online tests and quizzes to increase my knowledge. I plan on advancing to the state leadership conference and placing in the top 5.
