What about this project went well for you? 

When I used “wikepedia” as a site, I would always look at the sources below and make sure that those were credible(and they were)! Also we had tons of time to have our project finished(About 3-4 weeks). Lastly, the rubric was very clear and detailed telling us things like how many sites we need and how to make sure our project will be succesful!

What about this project did not go well for you?

I feel that I might have used a little to much of the “thinking outside the box” approach. What I mean by this is that there was some information on John Cabot(which is who I researched) but not a ton. That was probably because he lived over 400 years. Instead, I had to use the information that I already knew and put in more information based on that. For example, when I figured out that John Cabot discovered the Coastal part of North America I had to use prior knowledge to figure out that there was a lot of water which means that they have tons of water to drink, probably fish to eat, and lots of jobs based on that.I guess this maybe was a good learning experience/opportunity but at the same time, kind of frusterating and maybe we could of had a bit more guidence is what Im trying to say.

How can you create a better project next time?

Maybe instead of doing a google slide presentation, I can do something more exciting like a video or skit and go out of my comfort zone that way because I dont love doing thing like that. Or maybe I could still do a google slide, maybe just not put so many words on the screen at once and instead put more key notes of what to say and more visuals instead to make it more interesting and exciting to look at!

How did you think the planning process went? Were you able to find all the information you needed?

As I already said above, the reason why I couldnt find so much information was because this happened a long time ago, but then I think it became more fun that way as well. What I mean by that is because I didnt have so much informtaion I could be more free and less structred with my ideas and be creative still using key information to guide me.

What could Adon Kaufman and Gev. Noorlander do differently next time?

Maybe the teachers could warn us that there might be very limited information  on our project on the internet. I do appreciate the webistes the teachers gave us online but maybe next time there could be a book so we could explore it more and maybe there would be more accurate infomrtion because both the sites the teachers gave us to help us, didnt have all the explorers information on them.

What impact did explorers make?

They found new lands and some even went around the whole world! Also some of them made other people famous because for example Sacagawea went with Lewis and Clark on their journey and she became famous that way! Lastly, they have helped us to discover not only new lands, but new materials and such in the new lands and have given us more room to spread out ourselves. If it wernt for them, the world would have been totally different!
