When I started doing the project, I started with two posts. Character profile, timeline. That time, I didn't know a lot about my topic. But i think i knew enough about it.
When I was doing the timeline I learned a lot about a Jefferson Davis. he was the president of the Confederate states. Also I learned alot about general Robert e. lee. He was one of the generals for the Confederate army.
After making a character profile on Abraham Lincoln, I started liking how much of a great person he was, so I made an obituary on him.
One problem I had doing this project was not using different topics for each genres. When i got through the first eight i just got stuck on the genres and what i should do.
How I planned my project was that I first was going to use some days finding information on my topic, then to finish at least one posts everyday and use the day after that to revise and post.
I think my favorite post was the time line. It helped me learn alot of information on the civil war and why it happened.
I think this project was very challenging. I am also glad that this project didn't need any paper work.

Dear, Father
Dear father,
I know you must be worried about me going into this whole war. I would have to say that I am doing very well. The food here is really horrible because for these past few days we only had cold, hard bread. I really do miss mom's cooking. It is currently April 11, 1862 which is 3 days after a huge battle at Shiloh, Tennessee. We were invaded by the Confederate army while we the Union were under command by General Ulysses S. Grant. At first I thought we would lose but, luckily we called for more help and another regiment arrived in the middle of the night. Finally we got the Confederate soldiers to retreat the next morning. I would have to say that about 13,000 out of 63,000 of us died and 11,000 of 40,000 Souther soldiers were killed. I am sorry for not writing to you sooner but, I took a couple of days to get my sleep. I really wish I can talk to you some more about what is going on here but, I must go now, we are about to carry supplies from the wagons and eat some cold soup. Hopefully I can talk to you again soon, bye!
Your son,
Bob
