the reflection

In my project I learned a lot about my person, i learned he played a major role in building this nation, and in the revolutionary war. I think i can do better by actually using up all the time i had and not just some of the days because i feel, if i would have really paid attention and had tried my hardest then i could have gotten a high grade. I would put the words in my own way instead of making it go fast and doing it the lazy way.

STATEMENT OF PROCESS.

For the first thing that I did was copy each question and and saved the questions as my draft for the title.
The second thing I did was little by little i gathered up information about my person.
In my study notebook i had jot down all my information and jot down the websites for my bibliography.
The last thing i did was put all the information into my posts. Then the night before it was due i finished up the bibliography and one more post i had trouble with.
