PROCESS PAPER
Section 1: How I Chose My Topic
I first tried to find something that a girl like me would actually like to do a project on. I was very open minded, and I was looking for something interesting. When I saw "Titanic" on a list of possible topics, I knew that would be it. I had already seen the movie many times but I had no prior knowledge about the actual sinking, so I was interested in learning about it.
Section 2: How I Conducted My Research
I used the internet to conduct my research. I found primary source pictures and a press speech. I was able to find informative websites that explained all of the parts of my project. It was easier than I thought it would be to gather so much information.
Section 3: How I Created and Developed My Website
My civics teacher, Ms. Pariso, told us to create a wesbsite for our history fair. It was very simple. All I needed was a computer and a couple hours to get the entire website completed. I was given time in class to start it, and I finished at home over the weekend. The website is a very easy way to present your information.
Section 4: How My Project Relates to the Theme
My project "The Sinking of the Titanic" relates to the theme "Turning Points in History", because it changed the safety regulations at sea and it affected the people in America and all over the world.
