History Alive Reflection

History Alive Project: http://historyalivethewomensrighttochoose.weebly.com/

A. During History Alive, I learned a lot about the history of abortion and how it not only affected women. Before History Alive, I had never researched about the history of abortion through the illegalisation, organisations, cases, etc. So, I a was able to understand more about the topic. Most importantly though, I learned about how it not only affected women and it is still very controversial today.

B. If I were to keep improving on my History Alive, one thing I would work on to make it better is to improve our bibliography. I would do this by finding more reliable sources and extending my research; so, not only would the bibliography be better, but the overall writing would extend in depth.

C. One thing I liked about this project is being able to pick any topic from any time period and place. With a free choice on our topic, it allowed me to enjoy the research, writing, and forming of our project as my partner and I chose a topic we were both passionate about. However, one aspect I disliked about this project was having to create an in-depth/annotated bibliography.

D. Through the process of this project, one way I have grown as a learner was by growing on my essay techniques. For our final project, I wrote the analysis of our topic in an essay. So, this added growth for thinking about way to incorporate different text evidence and analysis to support our claim.
