Blogging from Home: Part 3
Hello, this is my third blog while in quarantine. Not strong enough to make a good greeting.
- Me
This blog is based off the activity I did. The activity is making a timeline about two historical figures that changed history, one way or the other.
For this activity, the people I picked this is Adolf Hitler and Martin Luther King Jr. I picked Hitler as the figure because his history intrigues me, even the facts about him. The reason I picked Luther King Jr. was because he made a change without having to use force, however, I picked him mostly because I forgot who I picked in the first place.
I tried making the timeline in Visme, but I ended up ditching the website. Instead, I moved on to pencil and paper. Though easier to do, lines were not easy to make, as it was with spacing and writing. The timelines were easy to do, still. I only had to use one piece of paper for both of their timelines. Adolf's timeline is awfully longer than Luther King's because I kind of did it in under 2 hours.
I concealed the paper by my chromebook, so I wouldn't lose it. I'm currently not bothering to do the other activities, and this might bite me in the neck soon enough. But, I hope that these activities aren't necessary. Otherwise, I'll find out the hard way.
Thank you for reading this. Please provide me with some feedback to make these better. Thanks!

Hi Andrei
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you described your thinking process when you told us how you rejected Visme and opted for a pencil and paper version of the timelines. I also liked your honesty when you said "I picked him mostly because I forgot who I picked in the first place".
I wish you had included a photo of the timelines in your blog, because at the moment the log post is just about the process, rather than the output (the timelines themselves).
