What did you learn?
I learned the importance of fallout shelters.

What was your research question?
How and why were bomb shelters made during the cold war?

What was the answer to your research question?
Fallout shelters were made for protection from nuclear bombs.

Did your final product answer that question? How?
Kinda, we showed how the fallout shelters looked like.

What did you do well on the project?
Personally i have no confidence in our project because my partner and I didn't communicate well, therefore our project didn't turn out as well as the others.

What could you have improved on the project?
Communicating with my partner and taking my time to think about a unique idea for the final product.

What would you change about what you did on the project?
Communicating and time managment.

What would you change about the assignment itself?
It was fine, honestly.

What grade do you think you deserve on the project? Why?
Well i would like an A because Andrew said that if i pull it off on the last day and we get an A he'd go out with meee!(:

buuuuutt, i know we dont deserve an A, so possibly a B. And trust me i learned my lesson.

PS. thank you mr. N for helping me throughout this project and im sorry for annoying you EVERYDAY. (:

Research question

How and why were bomb shelters made during the cold war?

Febuary 9th

Today I answered the research questions with the help of my partner and teacher. This made me one step closer to the final product because I answered what was needed to be answered in order to finish the final product! YAY! My next action is to start researching my research question, and find more detail.

A justification of how the finished product demonstrates mastery:

We are acting out the question.

The definition of the finished product:

If its the product is 100% finished it will be edited and have no flaws.

A justification of that form:

We chose this form because we thought it was the best way to explain and it would give good visuals.

A description of the form which the final project will take.

For our final project we are making a video. We will act out the public's reaction.

What was the publics reaction of the red scare?

Today I set up my blogging accounts and picked a topic to research. I chose the red scare and I thought about what I needed to do to answer the required questions. The progress I did today makes me one step to finding the answer to my research question. The next class I will research more and slowly find the answers to my questions.
