Project Reflection
For our 3rd quarter project, the people in my class got into groups of three to create a website on a historical figure for the National History Day Competition. The people in my group were Taylor C. and Taylor T. We chose to do a website on Antonio Borja Won Pat. Taylor C. and Taylor T. were in charge of doing research, and my job was to learn how to use iWeb.
It was a fun experience researching A.B. Won Pat. My class and I got to go on three field trips. I went on the fieldtrip to the MARC Library. It was hard finding information about Won Pat’s personal life. Most of the files at the MARC were about his political career.
If I could do this website over, I would start on it early. I think it was because we waited until the last minute (when we went to the MARC the day the project was due) that we couldn’t find good information. The second thing I would do is communicate with my group more. We didn’t really talk with each other outside of class about the project, so none of us really knew what we were supposed to do. I would have had us take turns going to the MARC. The third thing I would do is include more pictures and make the website pretty. I think that our website was too plain.
If I could create another website, I would choose to talk about Adolf Hitler. Most people only know the basic things (like he was the fuhrer of Germany, he killed more than 17 million civilians, etc.), but there’s other interesting information about him (like there were numerous assassination attempts on his life, he commited suicide by simultaneously shooting himself and biting into a cyanide capsule, and that all that remains of Hitler is his skull).
