The Project |
Reflection |
This project’s goal was to create a bill to make a federal law about something we were passionate about. It was supposed to put into perspective how laws are made in our democracy. The project was also used to help show how changes can be made in the form of creating a bill.
This project is still a work in progress right now. I still decided to include it because it felt important to do so. |
I chose this project because it was very difficult for me. I did my bill on why schools need more funding for mental health resources, and looking at the finances was very difficult. I’m far better at writing things creatively, and less fact driven. I was passionate about the topic I chose but had a lot of difficulty explaining how the fundamentals of that change would work.
This project challenged me by putting me out of my comfort zone. I have never liked working with official documents as they’re very objective, so this project was certainly a challenge . It did however, demonstrate my ability to do research on topics and use facts to argue my case. If I could do this project again I would do more research on the money aspect of the bill. The argument would have seemed much more official if I were to actually know what I was talking about. I might also choose a topic that looks more at things I know how to work with. |
