Statement of Process

When I first heard this project was going to be a project of our choosing I literally freaked out. All throughout the year, we did projects mostly based on what Ms. Sackstein assigned us. I was more comfortable having her give us a topic that I could focus on and just be able to know that it was a smart selection. To pick a topic by myself was like saying, "here, do what you want".
So, I was pretty slow picking a topic because I wanted to go back and look at what really interested me. I wanted to do Women's Rights, because I knew very little about it and I wanted to know how it all started. Unfortunately, women's rights were out of the question, so I had to find another topic. Then, I thought about the puritans and their background. That seemed interesting because they had many problems, and were willing to cross the ocean for a better life. I wanted to expand my knowledge about them. I asked Ms. Sackstein if I could do my project on the Puritans.
I soon went to the library, and got specific books on the puritans. I researched different websites and found many pictures. Now it was time to begin writing. I took notes and wrote them into different genres, news articles, poems, feature articles, interviews, letters.
In my news article, I did not feel that the way it was written was too "fluffy"( Ms. Sackstein said), and that I needed to get to the point in a news article. So, I asked her to help me make it short, using facts, and giving both sides to the story. We got rid of the fillers, and I added quotes.
In my other pieces, I had to make sure that each entry was organized, and displayed different info.
I got different comments from my friend Yeojin, and Ms. Sackstein. I think that their comments really helped me edit my writing. After I completed this project,I felt really confident that I was going to do well. I did a lot of work on this project, and I felt great to finish the exit project knowing that there would be no pressure.
The benchmarks helped me a lot because I could plan out everything, and didn't rush to the end to finish this project, like I did with some of my other projects. All in all, I really enjoyed this exit project, a good conclusion to the year.
