Statement of Process (revised)

This project seemed really complicated at first but it was easier than I thought when I started on it. I started with the easy genres when I started it. The first genre I worked on was the poem because I knew the structure of it very clearly.
.
Then I worked on the game. I decided to do a scramble at first because I didn't know enough information about the topic to do any other game. But, Ms.Sackstein said that this game wasn't so good since it didn't give any information and I had to agree on that since it was the purpose of choosing that game. So I decided to research about the words and started with a trivia game. I used the scrambled words as hints and I moved the answers down to the bottom so that the answers won't be right there, on the bottom of the questions. Also, I didn't just change the post, I made a new post so that I could see the difference between the revised and before revised work.
.
After the revisions in the poem and the game, I did more researches because I knew it was impossible for me to do any posts without more information. So I researched about the sharecroppers. I thought the descriptive paragraph will be a good fit for the information so I wrote a paragraph mainly about the sharecropper’s payment and living.
.
After the descriptive paragraph, I decided to do a character profile of Abraham Lincoln since I'd seen a lot of researches including facts about him. I started with the research and wrote about his whole life. Some words in the researches were hard to understand so I had to use the dictionary and change it in to my own words. It wasn't so hard to do since I knew about him before the project.
.
Then, I was exhausted and all the information were going around my head. I needed some fun things for my blog which is the reason why I came up with drawing a cartoon. It was really easy to come up with the idea with all the information. I knew what I needed to draw and just started on it. After I finished drawing, I took a picture of the cartoon and uploaded it on to my blog. I wrote a short description about what is in the cartoon.
.
I looked through people's blog after the cartoon and noticed that most of them did a timeline. So without thinking, I decided to do my own about reconstruction. I picked out important events and inserted in to my own timeline. It was confusing since I didn't know about some of the events. Still I think it holds a lot of information.
.
When I was up to my seventh blog post, I remembered about the slave letter. It was the reason why I decided to do a blog about the slavery after the civil war. I was interested in the letter I read during class. It was about former slaves who just won the Civil war and remembered about his children. He wrote a letter to the master who had his children still working for them. I thought it was really exciting to read about. So I decided to write a slave letter like the one I've read. It had a lot of misspellings with no punctuations and I did the same. It was easier than I thought.
.
Next, I realized that I haven't written anything about the master's thoughts. So I decided to do a diary about the master before and after the civil war. I chose to do the diary since it was one of the genres where people talk to them selves and write down their thoughts.
.
When I was up to my eighth post, I've ran out of ideas. So I decided to do an ad about help wanted for sharecroppers. I knew the facts so I just got in to the shoes of the white people and wrote what I would write to attract the readers. I made it sound like a real good deal by using ONLY and WOWs. It was fun to write and think about the former slaves reading this.
.
My last post was the map. At first, I realized that I couldn't find any maps after the Civil War so I decided to do a map from before the Civil war. The map was about the slave states and the free states. It told the readers about how many states were slavery related before the Civil war and all these states became free after the Civil War.
.
Even though I'm done with the 10 blog posts, I still had the reflection, bibliography, glossary and this statement of process to do. For the reflection, I just wrote down all about the genres, which were hard, which were easy. After, I worked on the glossary. I just read through the posts and picked out the hard words and some that even I didn't know what it meant before this project. For the bibliography, I had some hard time since it had been pretty long time since I worked on writing one myself. I used a site that gave me the whole bibliography when I typed in the information about the site. Finally, for this statement of process, I just wrote down all the steps I took in order.
