Featurecast from the Past

Your reflections will serve a dual-purpose. They will put your beautiful work in context as well as help to prepare you for your P.O.L. You may copy the Project Purpose and Requirements to your DP, but the concepts learned, challenges, and real-world connections will be specific to your process and experience.

Don't forget to create a link to the Featurecast Project Web Page, or even your specific recording or Feature Article, if you'd like:

Project Purpose:
To understand the difference between Cause/Effect Relationships and Correlations. To understand how and why major events in history are connected and intertwined (think yarn activity!). To research a major event from U.S. history in order to understand why it is significant and how it relates to other major events. To understand features of a feature article and podcast and to be able to create a feature article or podcast about your major event in history.

Project Requirements:
To present the 5Ws of your major event to the class. To write/peer edit/revise a feature article or podcast. To have at least three drafts in your Writing Portfolio. To present a polished version of your feature article or podcast on Media Night, as well as posting it online to our Team Featurecast from the Past web page (made by James).

Specific Concepts Learned:
Include at least two concepts. Be specific about the information/research/differences between correlations and cause/effect relationships that you learned. You should be able to explain the significance of your event (include specific facts) or give an example of a correlation and a cause/effect relationship between your event and another significant event.

Challenges:
What challenges did you face throughout this project? How did you overcome these challenges?

Real-World Significance:
What is the real-world significance of learning major events in history and how they are related? What is the real-world significance of research or creating feature articles/podcasts?
