Reflection: Entire Project

I particularly enjoyed working on this project. I was able to learn a lot more about World War 2 and truly see the motives behind why we joined the Allies from a whole different perspective. I was able to analyze Japanese expansion and even various acts added to take away the lend lease act. I have always wanted to know more about actual fighting events during the war and I was able to learn a lot about the Rape of Nanking and the vile, sick crimes committed there. I enjoyed everything during this project and I would not be against doing something like this again. Also, I feel that this project worked better for me because I was able to use a powerpoint. I am much more comfortable using the powerpoint interface than the prezi interface. I feel like I was able to include more valuable information in the powerpoint instead of bullets in a prezi. Overall, I very much enjoyed this project!

Done and Done

I actually finished his project at around 8:00 but the work cited has been very tedious. As I was packing up I realized I forgot to post about this. The project went very well. I decided to do a powerpoint. The power point is very good looking and fun. I certainly hope everyone enjoys it.

Reflection 3/20

After reanalyzing my question and having an extensive discussion with the ever so insightful Mrs. Roy, I have realized that I should reevaluate my essential question. I was informed today that the point of an essential question is that there is no set answer. Therefore, I have deduced that I should make my own answer and support it with information from my sources! Since I am flying solo on this topic, it will be hard to work with a peer in making my project the best via peer editing. I have decided that the United States should have aided the Allies because of economical interest with the countries in the Allied Forces and because of the military and civil injustices committed by the Axis Powers. More information to follow as to why!

Reflection 3/16

After further research today I have decided to use Franklin D. Roosevelt's speech titled "Quarantine the Aggressor." This work is very appropiate for my project because in this he justifies going to war against Germany. My essential question, in a nut shell, was why did the US join the Allies instead of the Axis. Further research also gave gave me more information about why they entered the war for the Allies. What some websites all agree on is that the first action that made the US join the war was when German submarines sunk American cargo ships. This was followed by Germany announcing that any ships sending aid to Great Britain will be torpeoded on January 7th 1941. Finally, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor really thrusted the United States onto the stage of war. The attack occured on December 7th, 1941. The US responded promply by declaring war on Japan on December 8th, 1941. Because Japan joined the Axis army on September 27th, 1940, the US was also now at war with Germany and Italy.

Progress On Project

Tonight I completed most of my research for this project. It was very well done if I do say so myself. The overall psychology behind every aspect of WWII is extremely interesting. Specifically, why the United States chose to join the Allies and fight the Axis. There are many reasons as to why they did and I will mention them in my presentation. This has been quite enjoyable thus far! Baron out.
