1. What did I feel successful doing during the process of the project? What am I proud of?
I felt successful presenting the power point because it was like it was proof that I did a good job, and the presentation pulled together well and it felt like I really accomplished something. I am proud of the report I wrote because, I think, I put a good amount of background information and I put a lot of effort into it.
2. What new skills did I value learning?
I valued learning about the Roman culture and about their daily life. I think it’s amazing the technology they had back then and how resourceful they were. I also learned how to make a jeopardy game using power point, as unimportant as it sounds, it can be a very useful skill.
3. What was challenging during the process of completing the project? With what did I struggle?
I didn’t really have any problems or struggles throughout the project except with the research. I had a few difficulties with gathering the information for my report; a lot of times the articles that came up were unrelivent.
4. How could I have improved my process so that I would have been more effective?
I feel I could have imprved my process by looking on more websites and rechecking my article before it was due.

What is the issue?
A plane crashed on September 16 2007 in
Phuket, Thailand and at least 91 people, including 55 foreign tourists and 36 Thais’ died. The plane tried to land but skidded of the runway, went through a small barrier wall then split in two and burst into flames. The two black boxes that were found on the plane were sent to the USA and will send back the information in a few weeks time. The air traffic control think that there may be another reason the plane crashed besides the weather but no further information as been posted about what they think it could be.
Who is affected and how?
· Families of people who died because they’ve lost relatives and will go into mourning.
· Injured people because they have to go through so much pain and suffering that they don’t deserve.
· Thai government because they have to deal with all the law suits of people who were in or related to people in the plane crash (people suing the government).
What would you do if you were directly involved? If I were directly involved, I would make sure that the investigation carried on until the cause of the crash was discovered. I would also pay for the funerals of people who died and the medical care for the injured people. I would also broadcast a moment of silence on the local television stations for the families of the injured and dead
