My topic for the AmRev is The Stamp Act. I don’t know a lot about Social Studies, and I could have picked anything. However, I chose The Stamp Act because it was the subject that I knew the least about, and I wanted to learn more about it. I could have made a good guess for what The French and Indian War was about, and a lot of what the other topics were about. I learned more by choosing the Stamp Act, which is why I chose it. I am presenting through a movie because I am not good at memorizing things. A movie looked and sounded a lot better than choosing an Ignite or TedTalk ( In my point of view).
The thing that I needed the most support with was both the recording and the pictures. The reason I needed support on the recording was because it was hard to not pause while I was recording, and I still have a little bit of pauses in my movie. The reason I needed help on the pictures was because it was so confusing. I needed to use a Creative Commons License to download things and I had to put them in my WeVideo. Another reason I needed support on pictures is because I used a chromebook for my project. Whenever I went to the Computer Lab, I had to use a Mac. Then I had to press different buttons to get an image from Google.
My favorite part of this project was when I got to add pictures, because it was both fun and challenging.
This project has helped me learn how to collect research because now I know that I need to go to Creative Commons License to get an image from Google. I also know that it is more efficient to find a link to do research then just look up something on Google.
I am presenting through a Movie. I am not nervous to present because I will be presenting a Movie. I won’t be talking to a big bunch of people and they will just see my work.
I chose to study Burundi because it’s a poor country with not a lot of resources. Burundi had a lot of information I could use. It may have been a random choice, but I wanted to do something that no one else would even think of doing because I wanted my infographic to be extraordinary. Burundi is way more poor than you might think. I know I don’t have exactly a good reason why I chose Burundi for this, but it still was really fun. It may look like it was really easy to make this, but it was way harder than you think! I started this off with a bunch of words, but then I realized an infographic is where you have to explain about your country in mostly words! When I realized that, doing this seemed a lot easier. I had to do a lot of research to do this project even though it may not seem like that. I had to delete most of the words from my infographic because it has to, of course, be made up of mostly words. Doing this was challenging, but I soon got the hang of it. I had to work on this project for a really long time but it was totally worth it! What I liked about doing this was that it was fun, but still challenging. Doing this was an amazing experience and I put my heart into making this!
