Statement Of Process

I had sooooooooooo much trouble trying to find the answers to letters F and G. This project was also difficult for me, because every website I tried, told me that it can't be diplayed. It was hard not to plagerize, but I tried my best. Ever single day from day 1 I tried to find stuff on letters F and G, but it didn't work out for me. What I did was I first got some pictures, thanks by the help of Christina, then I found the answers to letters A-E, and Letters I-J. Then I tried to be creative and added a game. I was up till 12:00 on Febuary 28th trying to make sure everything fit into place. I am very dissapointed in myself that my project was late. I have to understand, that the quote- That's Life has to stick into my brain. Overall I need to start my projects alot earlier, so that I'm not up till 12:00 agian-(That wasn't fun!) In the long run everything work out well-except the lateness of my project.

Reflection

My Reflection to this project was sort of difficult, and sort of easy. It was difficult because I never had to do a project on a blog, and never on the computer. It was easy because I can type faster than I write. I hope we can do more projects like this. I thought It was very creative.I had alot of trouble finding information about my person. It turns out that they are two people with the name Byron Johann Dekalb. My persons name is Byron Johan DeKalb, there is a differnce tough. Their is a N in Johan that is extra and no capital K in Dekalb. I must say that I used the dictionary to look up some words. I didn't understand what opposition and foes meant, until I looked it up in the dictionary. To make a long story short this was a fun, and creative project. Hopefully I get a grade that fits my work.
