This project was challenge to do but it was also very fun. I’m looking forward to do something like this again.
My question for the Constitution project was “Why was the voting age lowered to 18 and isn’t still at 21?” I chose this question because I was reading my work that I wrote in my notebook, and I found that there was a lot of information about the voting age being lowered to 18. So I decided to write about it. Plus, our questions had to be really detailed and specific, so I knew that was going to be a good question.
Something that was hard about this work was trying to find resources to answer my question. It was hard because I couldn’t find anything in the resources that my teacher gave me. We went to computer lab the next day and Mr. Casal told us that if we couldn’t find any resources that we needed, we could search them up. I decided to search up “Why the voting age was lowered to 18,” and “26th Amendment.” It was very helpful because I eventually found all the resources that I needed by scrolling through the options.
My overall reflection was that when we first started our project, it was very hard. I had no clue what my question was gonna be. I wanted to just do voting overall, but we had to make it more specific so that our question would be good. Also another thing that was hard was when we were doing the screencastify because I had to keep doing mine over and over again because it wasn’t good enough. I think that I answered my question successfully because of all the hard work I did. Eventually, I finished it and did this blog post.
In conclusion, this project was really fun and I really enjoyed doing it.
