process paper
How I chose my topic:
I chose my topic by what I am most interested in. I am a great movie buff and really enjoy Star Wars movies. Being the theme of NHD is "Turning Points in History," my dad encouraged me to go with the Star Wars topic because the special effects of the Star Wars movies were a turning point in the history of movie making.
How I conducted my research:
I conducted my research mostly on websites. I took notes and read different sources through the weeks of January 22nd to the 14th of February. I watched documentaries on how Star Wars was made. The rest of the time I worked on the bibliography, thesis statement, and putting my presentation together.
How I selected my presentation:
I selected my presentation by choosing what I am good at. I used technology and made a website because it was easier to get the information on the website than to print it out, or practice a play with others. I thought creating a website would be a perfect fit for me because of the practice I have had with making websites for other school projects and for myself. Using technology also fits in with a main focus of KA.
How my topic connects to the theme:
My topic connects to the theme, Turning points in History, because the Star Wars movies were a turning point in the history of movie making. Star Wars movies changed the way movies were made, and increased the use of special effects in the film industry. George Lucas went to Industrial Light & Magic for help to make the special effects in Star Wars as well as other movies like Rango, Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, and others.
