Process Paper
I chose my topic because I knew that I wanted to learn more about something I already knew about. So I chose the Russo-Japanese War and then I thought how I could learn more about it, so that is how I chose the introduction of Japan as a world power. I looked around for a little bit and figured that if I wanted to learn more, then I could not do the Treaty of Portsmouth because I have already done a project on that, so I had to change it.
I conducted my research by looking at the websites I have used in the past to remember all the information on the war. From there I went more in-depth with the websites I used and the books I read and skimmed through to find the correct information I needed. I also look through all the photographs I took when I went to NH to see the museum and found which ones I could learn from again, and if I could use them on my website.
I selected my presentation category in thinking of what I knew how to do, and what I would enjoy doing again. So I chose the website category. In order to create it I made a rough draft of everything I wanted to include and then I made the pages on the site. From there I made the layouts of the pages on the website itself, and then I started filling things in with information.
My topic relates to the theme “Turning Points in History: People, Ideas, Events” because it was a major event that took place. Japan went from a small Asian nation that not many countries feared, and though they would get crushed when in a war with Russia. But they didn’t, and because of that Japan became a well-known force that had great power, therefore changing Japan into a World Power.
