The purpose of this project was to basically learn about your own family history. In order to learn about my family history I had to do a lot researching. Plus wat gave me a lot of information from. Was my interview. Although the most fun part was making my scrap book. Because I got to go through all of my grandpa's old pictures and scrapbooks of his own. What we were mainly supposed to learn about was my grandpa's life in the service for the Vietnam War. There were a lot of steps some of them took time and some took 10 minutes some were hard and some were easy. I think if I had to ever rate this project from 1-10 I would rate it an 8.

WHAT I LEARNEDIn this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.

I learned a lot about my grandpa's life in the service for 3 years for the Vietnam War and what changes or emotions he went through during the service. Or even how he felt when he left for the service an if it was really difficult for him. I explored a lot about the Vietnam War. Like what they had to wear everyday or what they did and even what his job was everyday. Some of the skills learned were how to make a better looking scrapbook. Also how to do better research better without using wikepidia or some other websites that don't even work. Even though I have never done an interview before I have definitely asked questions. I learned how to make better in depth questions, and I think i I ever had to do another interview I would definitely know what to do.

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 learn more about my grandpa in the service because he has mentioned it before and I actually never got to the chance to ask him about it. So I finally got to learn more about that time for him and actually interview him about him. I also liked how we got to put our own writing in there for our personal narrative because people could look at my work. So I liked it that my parent got to look at what I do everyday in school. I felt like I could've done better on the Historical Narrative because I did not spend all of my time on it. I thought did do good but I thought I could have done better. Next time I would get a less girlie scrapbook and maybe a more serious work like one but that is just one little thing. Like I said I would have done my Historical Narrative better.

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? I think that I will put the website that I used for my project because I'm sure that most of the kids don't use it. Because it worked a lot for me and got me a lot of information.
