Reflection (revised)

I had fun doing this project since it was easier than writing it down on a piece of paper. I came up with the idea of doing a project about slavery after the Civil war when I remembered about the slave letters I read in class. It wasn't boring; instead, it was pretty fun and exciting.
.
A lot of skills grew thanks to this project, too. I got my technology skills, researching skills and revising skills. Most of all, I think my time managing skills improved a lot. If it wasn't for Ms.Sackstein, I would have finished the posts at the last minute. I'm really glad that I finished it on time and got some time to revise.
.
Some of the genres were hard to work on since I didn't know what every genre wanted. For example, I think the structure of the diary was easy to understand since I've worked on it on other projects like the explorer multi genre project. Another genre was the poem since we did a whole poetry project on slavery. One of the genres that were hard to do was the descriptive paragraph since I never wrote one before.
.
Some other challenges I faced were searching for the information on the slavery after the Civil War. I tried my best to avoid the information about the reconstruction since Ms.Sackstein gave me an advice to pay attention to my topic. But it was pretty confusing because there were few events I couldn't get to while I researched. The biggest problem I had during the project was with the typos and proofread. I think the reason was because whenever I start new posts, I just write all the information down and forget to go back to them to look over. But thanks to Ms.Sackstein, I think I gave more attention to it and improved my blog.
.
The easiest things from what I did were when I got all the information and I had to create a new post. I got more and more used to the blogger structure and the steps in creating the posts. I think these were the some of the reasons why it proved to me that I've learned a lot of things this year. I learned about the slaves and they were called former slaves after the civil war. While I was going through the internet, I also read about the former slaves begging their old masters to let them keep working for them since they didn't even have a place to sleep after the war ended. I thought the blacks were going to be really happy but I was surprised to know these new facts.
