Reflection

1. During the project I learned a lot about what D-Day looked like and the all around atmosphere of it.
2. What did D-Day look like?
3. We answered the research question with our project.
4. Yes
5. The final product answered this question because it was a model of D-Day and showed what D-Day looked like.
6. I think we used our resources well on the project.
7. We could have improved on our time management on this project.
8. I would have tried to find boats to put in the water if I could change this project.
9. I would get rid of the delicious thing because it was kind of useless to me.
10. I think an A because I mostly completed all of the assigned work.

Today I gathered all of the supplies we would need to begin the project.

Progress Post 3/25

My next action entering the day was to plan out the design farther so that we would really know what we were doing when we started.
Today I made a better plan of the design.
It helps me get a better idea of what D-Day looked like which was my research question.
My next action will be to start building the model.

Status Report

1. So far in my project I have accomplished 22 index cards and 6 Daily Progress Posts.
2. I still need 8 more index cards, 9 more Daily Progress Posts, and I also need to still actually do the model of D-Day.
3. It has been harder than I thought it would be to find really good pictures of D-Day.
4. It has been easier to make the index cards than I thought it would be.
5. I don't think I would do my project any differently if I could start over.
6. Before Spring Break I need to atleast finish all 30 of the required index cards.
