My Final Reflections
Explain what time period in America would you most like to live in and why.
I would like to live in my grandparents time. They were both born in the 1930s and are living to this day. I like this period because as they explained it to me I saw this as the period of everything coming out. Towns were still small but miraculous things were taking place. some of these things included the manufacturing of cars, atomic bombs, the moment of walking on the moon, the first orbit around the Earth, and so much more technology. As my grandparents told me about their life I realized how everything was so simple yet so fun.
Explain what you have gained and/or learned from doing this research project and creating your website.
I've learned so much more about my family history in doing this project. I love the stories that I've learned! I know how to work a webpage/website better and how to look for information concerning events. I've really learned too that simplicity can be better.
List or explain what you would add, omit, or improve to make the project a better learning experience.
The only thing that I can think of is to spend more time on helping us learn how to write a research paper. It was really stressful not knowing what to do exactly then most people had to rewrite their papers.
Would you like to do future research papers in this way? Why or why not?
This was a great way to learn about my family history, but I think I like regular papers better. It gets me more focused on writing the paper well. I really did enjoy learning about my family though.
