Project Reflection
Project Title:Family History Project
Class:Humanities/Interlandi Dates:October 18 2007
Purpose:
The purpose of this project was to learn how to be a historian;and so we had to do this project based on an event using one of our family members. So we had to write a narrative of a specific event ,conduct an informational interview with a family member and collect ''tools'' to include on an article. With the artifacts we need to write a caption. We had to do research on the event and write down notes and write down what you knew about this event.
We also had to could use books,magazines and other primary books to help you understand a little bit about the event.
What i learned:
In this project i learned a little more things about my mom. I studied and learned many things about the citizenship. I also learned how to interview some one and how to make all of those questions and answers in to a paragraph . I also learned how to write a narrative. Some of my skills where how to create a scrapbook and how to look for good artifacts (it was really hard to look for them).Some of the other skills where how to learn on a specific event or time period in history,experience first-hand by family member using sources.
Reflection:
I feel i could have done better on this project because i felt that i didn't took enough time making and organizing my scrapbook. Also because it was challenging and i think i the reason it was hard it was because i wasn't really paying attention to the event and so i was playing around {kind of}so i think i would change that. So next time i would take some time on the project and don't play around. Any way i had enjoyed this project a lot because i got to share it with other people and my friends and they kind of like it.
