PURPOSE
In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.
Sentence Starters
The purpose of this project was to learn about…
In order to learn about _________________, we had to create/perform/ write/etc…
Ms.Interlandi started this project for us because she wanted us to learn about our historical event but at the same time, it taught us to realize how horrible the historical event was. In order to learn about my historical event (The Great Taiwan Earthquake), I had to research about the earthquake on the Internet and in books for about two weeks and then i had to make a historical narrative, that summarizes up the earthquake. I had to make a personal narrative about my self, and ms. Interlandi said it could be anything about yourself so i chose my name. The last part of my project was putting some family photos in, that was the hardest part because i couldn't choose what picture i should put in my album.
WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.
Sentence Starters
I learned about…
I explored the concept of …
In this project, I learned how to…. (skills)
I learned about a lot of things during this project, because this was the
first project that i ever have to use the computer and use a photo album. I learned a lot about this earthquake because i was actually in this earthquake but i was about 4 so i didn't know anything about it and i thought that earthquake was just a small earthquake that hit Taiwan but during this project i realized that this earthquake wasn't small it was the biggest earthquake that hit Taiwan in one hundred years. I learned that thousands of people died and tens of thousands of people were left homeless. This earthquake effected Taiwan so much that they had to make a architecture rule that every single house has to be earthquake proof.
REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?
Sentence Starters
I enjoyed this project because…
I feel like I could have done better on this project because…
Next time, I would…
I enjoyed this project because i got to do every thing by myself and the teacher didn't have to tell us to much to do, we had to find it out ourself which was kinda fun because we learned how to do stuff by ourself. I feel like i could have done better on this project, because i didn't take all my time typing the narratives. I feel like i just typed what information i found and i should have took more time finding information then thinking of what to type. Next time, i would get more pictures of the earthquake and get more artifacts.
ARTIFACTS
You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project?
In this project i had 4 pictures of what the earthquake did to Taiwan, like
More than one hundred bridges and highways collapsed or thousands of high-rises collapsed because of the earthquake.
