Family History Project Reflection
The purpose of this project was to learn about an event in family history like a Historian. We also had to write narratives about myself and my family. We had to do an interview with a family member about the event that they have gone through. With that event, I had to write a historical narrative describing of what happened and why it happened. After collecting narratives and an interview, we also had to collect at least 4 tools/artifacts, labeling them with captions. With that, I had to create either a scrapbook or a newsletter containing these elements.

In this project, I improved my writing skills and learned more about World War II. I didn't know how devastating World War II was, and I didn't even know about World War II in the Philippines until now. I learned to create an interview using various types of questions to understand what happened in my event, which was World War II. I learned about the Bataan Death March, and how scary it was to live through World War II.

I liked this project very much. I think that I should of took better notes and and look for better sources, because for the Historical Narrative I had to look back for more information. I also think that I should of took more time on my captions and finding better pictures. I think that I did a really good job on my scrapbook. Next time, I would work on my Historical Narrative better because it's kinda hard to include every piece of information since there is so many.

For my DP, I will post a picture of my project, and maybe scan a picture that was included in my project and add that, too.
