Project Title: Family History Project ( Watts Riot)
Class: Humanities Dates: September through October Due: 10.17.07
PURPOSE
In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.
Sentence Starters The purpose of this project was to learn about… In order to learn about _________________, we had to create/perform/ write/etc…
The purpose of this project was to learn about a historical moment that you weren't able to witness. On the facts that you weren't born yet or weren't in that city at the time. Another Purpose was to learn how to be a historian and learn how to research information about things most likely you have no idea what happened. In order to learn about our historical events we had to perform, questions, interviews, and how to research to be a good historian for this project.
WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.
Sentence Starters I learned about… I explored the concept of … In this project, I learned how to…. (skills)
During this project i learn about a historical moment, for me the Watts riot. I explored the concept of the Watts riot. Why it started, who started it, and when it occurred. Most importantly before i learned about the Watts riot. I had to learn how to be a good historian:
Asking good questions for the interview
Writing a narrative ( historical and personal )
Scrap booking it all
Gathering only the important information
I know that all sounds like it's just basic steps for a project. But in order to do our project Ms. Interlandi taught us all how to work in those specific places. Going back to what i learned about the watts riot is:
It started in 1965 and lasted for 6 days
It occurred in many places not just Los angles.
And that was pretty much it. But i think i learned a lot from this project.
REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?
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 it was actually pretty fun and i got to interview my grandma which is something i don't really do. I also liked this project because i thought i learned a lot from it. I don't think i would actually know about the watts riot unless i did this project, or maybe even cared much about it. I feel i could of done better on my interview because my questions somehow some flowed in with each other. Also i lagged after i made my new interview questions to have the interview. Next time i will try to keep in touch better and make sure i make an official Interview date. I also think that i could of gotten more pictures of all of my family, but i really cant blame myself for that because some of my family like my grandma's twin and her other sister like to hog the pictures and don't trust other people with them. Continuing on how i could do better with the pictures is to remember to remind people things because older people have a habit to forget like my grandma did when she came over my house the weekend before the project was due to bring some old family pictures. But luckily i had found some around the house that was either framed, scrap booked, or sitting in a box under my moms bed. I really liked this project and I'm glad Ms. Interlandi did this project
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?
For my Dp i plan to have my narratives and hopefully get some pictures scanned to put on my dp when i send them to myself. I also plan to put my interview questions for people to veiw on my dp. Lastly I'm going to put the link to wikipedia where i got most of my information.
