Colonial America Book

      In fourth grade we do a Colonial America book. At computer lab we set up our book on are google slides. This is how we set it up first side was our title page. Second slide is the table of contents. Third slide chapter 1 All About Colonial Life. Fourth slide blank. Fifth slide chapter 2, my chapter two was All About what Crimes and Punishments in colonial times were like. Sixth slide was blank. The seventh slide was chapter three either journal entry or letter I chose journal entry. The eighth slide was blank. The ninth slide was an essay. The tenth slide was a glossary and the last slide was a bibliography. Before we do any of the research we have to choose a topic. The way how you do this is you get an index card and you write your top 3 choices, and before we did all of that we got a piece of paper and divided in into 4 parts one was daily life, one was trades which means jobs, one was slavery, and the last one was government. We wrote topics for each of the parts that it fits into so it was easier to choose. I got crimes and punishments which was in government. Then we researched for our chapters one and two. We had books, articles, and websites to research on. The research part was not that hard. It was only hard when we still had a lot of research time left and we checked out every book, article, and website that had to do with our topic. We only had to research chapter one and two because those were the only informational chapters. After we researched our chapter one and two we organized our facts on indects cards. After we organized our chapter one and two on are indects cards we wrote what we had on the indects cards on our notepad. After we wrote our first drafts of our chapter 1 and 2 on our note pad we started typing them on our google doc. Our chapter three which was a journal entry or a letter I chose a journal entry I think chapter 3 was the hardest chapter. I had to pretend I was the fictional person that I was writing about. The last chapter was an essay, we have done so many essays in the past so it was fairly easy. After we finished our first drafts on our chapters 3 and 4 I typed them in my google doc. After I finished my google doc I started gathering pictures which was easy. I had about 5 pictures. After I finished gathering all of my pictures I copied my writing from my google docs into my google slides I first copied my chapter 1 in my google slides and then chapter 2 and then chapter 3 and last chapter 4. Then I did my glossary, I had a few words in my glossary. Then I put my pictures in the blank slides so the blanks slides would be useful and I put captions for the pictures.  Then I read my book over and I found mistakes. And then someone read my book to find mistakes and I read their book to find mistakes too. Then I did not have any mistakes. What I learned about myself as a reader writer and researcher is that I am pretty good at all of them. If I could make anything different in this project I would make my subtopics for chapter 2 better
