PURPOSE: In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.
The purpose of this project was to become an expert on the person that we were researching on as well as the different types of cultures during that time. Like the different styles of dances and fashions and clothes. Also we had to write a biography about our person as well. At the end of the project we had a renaissance ball. That's when we had to put our research to good use. We had to actually become that person. At the ball we would have to talk as if was that person. We had to talk to other people at the ball and ask them questions about their person and then tell them a little about ourselves.
WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.
In this project I learned a lot about my person. My person was Joan of Arc. I learned so much about her. I didn't know that her hometown of Domremy, France was invaded by the British. I also didn't know that she captured by the Burgundian troops was sold to the Duke of Burgandy for ten thousand francs. In this project I learned how to write a paper in diary form and write it from a first person point of view.

REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?
What I would do next is time I try to put my eleven page biography and try to pack it into five pages. Still I did like this project. I loved writing the diary. I felt as though I could use my creativity and writing skills. I also loved that I could feel like Joan of Arc.
