The purpose of this project was to teach us more about the Constitution and I think that this project related to our unit by teaching us more about parts we didn’t know a lot about and how important they are to our every day life. My research project was the Freedom of Press and I choose it because I thought that it was more important then I first realized and I was excited to learn more about it.

The research was the first part of the project and I really liked learning about how many big events occurred because of the Freedom of the Press.  Some of the things that I learned was that Abraham Lincoln made it punishable by death for a newspaper to give information to an enemy and that when a newspaper broke this law the building and contents were burned!

The script was my favorite part because I got to show how important my topic was.  The main way that I did this by talking about the biggest events related to my topic. Another way I did this was by explaining how big some of the changes to the Freedom of Press were.

After the script done I had to make the slideshow. I found it difficult to find all the images because one of my major events took place a long time ago but I did find a great image for that slide. But it was easy to find an image of Cato and I was a bit worried about this because I only ever heard of him while I was researching the causes. But I did find a good image after not a lot of searching.

The last part of the project was the screen cast this part was not really difficult. But I had never used screen cast before so it took me 10 tries! I ended up figuring out how everything worked and if you want to see the final version just copy the link at the bottom of the post.

To summarize I really enjoyed making this project. I am proud of all of the work that I did and I hope that you now understand the importance of the freedom of press . I also hope you enjoyed my project and I hope to do another project like this in the future.
