Last month our teacher, Ms Edwards assigned us a project. She told us to choose an important person, event, or an amendment. I chose to do something about Black lives matter. I ended up doing the Greensboro sit-in. I chose to do the Greensboro sit-in because it was something I had never learned about or heard of so I wanted to know more about it. I think that this project was related to our constitution unit, including our work on the Bill of Rights because this project let us explore how rights can be shown and what they are.
The first thing we had to do was research on our topic. We had a few weeks to research. We had to find at least 3 websites.We had to take notes from the websites. Researching was harder than I thought because I found the same information on websites. But I ended up having some good information at the end.
After our research we had to write an essay about our topic. The essay would help us make our script. My essay was about how the Greensboro four affected the fight for civil rights. My answer for this was, it was important because it showed that you can fight back peacefully.
The step after this was to make a script. The goal was to make it 2 minutes and thirty seconds but I ended up making it two minutes. Each part was fifteen seconds long. I copied my information from my essay into the script and then made some changes if needed. I ended up having 8 slides at the end.
After making the script we had to make a slideshow. We had to put images or words on our slideshow. We had to have under 6 words or one image. I only did images on my slideshow. Finding images was hard for me because I couldn’t find what I was looking for.
The final step was to make a screencastify. We had to record ourselves saying our script. I had to do it over again a lot of times because I made a lot of mistakes.
I think the most challenging part of doing this project was making the slideshow. This was hard because I couldn’t find the images I wanted and they didn’t work that well with what I was saying.
The thing I enjoyed most while doing this project was doing the research. This was my favorite part because this was when I got to really learn about the Greensboro sit-in and learn lots of new facts.
One thing I learned about my topic is that the Greensboro four kept coming each day despite the cruelty they faced and they protested peacefully
Overall I think I did a good job and I really enjoyed learning about the Greensboro sit-in. This project was really fun. I am proud of how my slideshow turned out at the end.

I think your blog post is wonderful, I loved that you chose to do the greensboro sit – in. I think your blog post was very descriptive on the process of our constitution project.
