What if Amelia Earhart returned...
benchmark here
What I like most about this project is the fact that we get to change history,what was hard though after the initial excitement was getting solid ideas that would be interesting and wholesome. The actions I make Amelia Earhart do speeds up the historical record because I make it so that she inspires women so that they have a huge leap into politics and the military and getting everything done efficiently. I thought that if women were a larger factor earlier, things would get done faster and people would be. Also because women are more emotional and mostly rule their actions by that, America is a more accepting and loving although with having a swelled military, America is still the most feared nation if they get pissed off. This project could get improved by slowing down and fully elaborating on different points. I also feel that it can be improved if only one other person was making it with me. If I had to do it over again, I would keep my folder in the classroom so I didn't lose it and have to start from scratch again. I would also plan my time better so that i could get it done before the due date just in case something happened.

Whitney W.: What if?
My project :)
My favorite part about this project was the making of the fake primary source documents. The most challenging part was actually finding a way to display my new spin on history. My most intersing fact that I investigated was the Revolutionary War, there was no way in the world that America should have one that, but we did and thank goodness for that. If Thomas Jefferson would have left the clause which denounced slavery out of the Declaration of Independence, then the Conferderates would not have signed, and we would have certaintly lost the war. One change changes history. Whether it was changing a clause or taking it out all together. History would have changed. I could have improved my project by finding a better way to set it up and display it sooner. If i could re-do everything. I would have picked a new point of divergence. A more creative point of divergence.

Q4 Benchmark Reflection
I enjoyed this project although to me it was EXTREMELY confusing. I wasn't sure of everything we needed in the project even though I asked a few times from classmates what the project was supposed to consist of and even read the paper a bunch of times. The hardest part for me was picking a topic and finding primary sources for it. I did, but I never turned in my primary source document papers. :( But over all, I enjoyed this project and I enjoyed writing about my topic. I chose this topic because I wanted to learn about something that I take part in and how life would be without it. It turns out that life would be a lot different; there would be a lot more people alive and there would be less people with malignant melanoma (a deadly form of skin cancer that can spread throughout your body very quickly). The only thing that I would change is having to fill out the primary source document papers because I kept losing track of them and if I didn't have to fill them out at all, I would have been ay-oh-kay.
What If... The Technology of Tanning Beds didn't exist?

What went well was the final product that was put out and the actual amount of information it displayed and how nice the pictures looks and the organization of it all. What did not work was the process we spent a bunch of time trying too get the information our group assembled together. Miscommunications between group members was a bit of a problem but in the end we game through. Next time i would have better group communication.

- What did you like about this project? What was most challenging?
I think the most challenging part of the part of this project was actually finding something to change and then put it together. - Describe the most interesting fact or event that you investigated.
One of the more interesting things in this project that i investigated was the assimilation of choctaw indians. They really tried to blend and adopt our culture. Even though they did this they still were not accepted. - How do the actions of individuals impact the historical record?
One person can change the course of a whole event. Making their impact a large one on society and history.
- How do systemic changes impact the historical record?
If a system changes then there has to be adjustment within the rest of the system. If any part goes without adjustment then a part of the historical record could be lost. - How influential can one decision be in the historical landscape?
One decision as well as one person can change history very dramatically. This one thing can change a historical landscape completely. - How could this project be improved?
I think my project could be better if my design was a little better looking and if i had more sources. - If you had it to do over, what would you change about your process for the project?
I would have gone over my idea with Ms.laufenburg a little more and i also would have chosen a different subject . Along with that i would have tried to make my sources look more professional or ask for more help
