In my class, we did a constitution project and we all had to pick a subject close to the constitution and we had to study it and then write a presentation about it. I picked the 14th amendment. I worked with my friend Sophia.
The purpose of the constitution project was to inform us more about the amendments and the constitution. Also, it helped us learn how to make a presentation and how to gather information. Another thing that it taught us is how to stay within the time limit and not to go over it or under it.
I picked my topic because I thought that it sounded interesting. At first, I was going to do the 15th amendment and the 19th amendment but I thought that the 14th amendment related to the 19th amendment more than the 15th amendment did. Later on, I realized that I had a lot of information on the 14th amendment and non on the 19th. Then I decided to do my constitution project just on the 14th amendment.
To me, the research was the hardest part. when I had to write the script I realized that I did not have enough information about the amendment, so I had to add more. It was hard to find the websites to gather the information, but once I had the websites, it was easy.
It was not that had to get information for the script, but at one point, I ran out of information. I had to research more. Once I was done writing the script, I had to time it. I realized that my time was below the right time. once I fixed that, My script was fine. Then I had to go on to my slide show.
The slideshow was the most fun part of the whole project. I had to find pictures that matched the text. It was hard to find the right photos, but once I finished it was time to do the screencastify.
The screencastify was also very fun! It was hard to get the videos perfect, so I had to make a lot of them and I had to see which one I liked the best. It took a lot of takes, but finally, I found my favorite.
Overall doing my constitution project was very fun, exciting, and also tricky. I loved doing this project and wish that we can do another project like this soon.
