Project Reflection
Project Title: Family History Project
Class: AB Date: September

PURPOSE

The purpose of this project was to learn about our family's history and just basic history of that event. In order to learn about the Great Depression, I had to write notes from web sites and make the notes in or own words the notes had to be at least four pages long. Then we had to type up a historical narrative using our notes. The historical narrative that told the story of our historical event. Then we had to make a personal narrative that was from our notebook that we write in every Tuesday and Thursday. We had to add to our story from our notebook to make it one page and more detailed. Then we had to get some artifacts I asked my Grandpa
if he has any pictures from that time. My uncle has a pocket watch that is from my Great-Grandpa. The we had an exhibition for the parents.

WHAT I LEARNED
I learned about my Grandpa more and how people lived during the Great Depression. I explored the Great Depression I found out a lot of facts about the Great Depression. I learned that many people invested in the stock market and when it crashed many people had huge loans to pay off so when they couldn't they lost every thing. People lived in shacks made from scraps that they found. I learned how to research, take notes, and type better.

REFLECTION
I enjoyed this project because it taught me about a historical event that was important to my family. Also it helped me learn more about my Grandpa. Next time I would have ordered the way I put my scrap book together because it doesn't tell what I am talking about first.

ARTIFACTS
I am going to put a picture of my scrapbook on my DP.
