= EVALUATION =

I discovered that what i enjoyed most was researching a load of information form different sources and web pages which showed that information is different where ever you go and it sometimes is made more interesting than the other. I also enjoyed the fact that we had the freedom to chose the best of our selections and we got to make it sound so real in a paragraph of our own.

I also discovered that some parts were more difficult than others and that they were not so enjoyable because we had limited use of writing space due to doing Dot points and also having to write our dot points in to one big thing. I also got a little frustrated trying to find proper web sites, book pages and description. This made finding the write information Difficult.

There were a few challenges in this task that I had to overcome, really think about and Focus extremely hard on them. Finding correct information, comparing word to word, writing in own paragraph with knowledge of our own, accessing the right sources and plotting things in their right category such as Family, Role, Description and Interesting facts was also difficult because somethings belonged to more than one and we had to decide which is best. it was a great task but got us thinking and it was challenging because we had to find useful information to put in our description.
