Statement of Process

When I first got this project, I thought 'what so hard about this? If you finish a post everyday and revise each one everyday, you'll be done.' But after doing posts that I thought it was easy to do, I got scared because I thought I wouldn't be able to do other posts from now on. So each day, I read more and more about my topic.


When I started doing the project, I started with three posts. It was a poem, game, and a descriptive paragraph. That time, I didn't know a lot about my topic. So I honestly say that those posts weren't very good. But I printed a timeline about my topic, and I learned more about my topic.


When I was doing the timeline I learned a lot about a women named Susan B. Anthony. She was arrested because she voted when she didn't have the right to. So I made a character profile on her. I listed facts about her and wrote a paragraph telling what part she did in the women suffrage.


After making a character profile on her, I started liking what she did, so I made a narrative poem on her. I didn't have a lot of hard time doing it because before doing this project we had a poetry project due on slavery. So I was really used to it. When we were doing the poetry project we had to write a reflection on every poem we did, so I made a reflection for the poem I did for the exit project.


One problem I had doing this project was not using different topics for each genres. I had some topics used twice in the project. So I tried to use other topics also.


How I planned my project was that I first was going to use some days finding information on my topic, then to finish at least one posts everyday and use the day after that to revise and post. When I was doing the poetry project, I didn't follow my plans but for this project I did use my plan and I am very glad.


I think my favorite post was the poem I did on Susan B. Anthony because doing the poetry project I mastered writing poems. Another post that I liked was the diary entry on Elizabeth Cady Stanton's daughter. She doesn't understand her mom for women's suffrage.

I think this project was very challenging and I think I had a fun time doing this project. I am also glad that this project didn't need any paper work.

Very good and detailed, Hanlim. I think that you gave this blog a really good go of it. It was clear from the beginning that you cared about the subject matter and worked hard to do a good job. Whenever I gave you some kind of suggestion, you worked hard to do what I asked. You also helped your classmates a lot with the technology. Thank you for generously giving your time and expertise.
