Feature aticle reflection

This is the refletion for our feature article or podcast as i said before i did feature article and here is my reflection:

Scientific concepts: (2 necessary at least)
•15 messages were intercepted tipped off the U.S. about the attack

•Complete surprise to Oahu, Hawaii (the intercepted messages that tipped of the U.S. couldn’t be sent to Hawaii in time)

•2 waves of aircrafts sent to attack

•6 carriers from Japan (274 miles off the coast)

•423 planes total

•Struck Oahu, Hawaii

•2’403 people killed

•1’400 and something people killed (sorry I don’t have the exact number at the moment)
By a 1760 pound bomb

•188 American aircrafts Destroyed

•Crippled a pacific fleet by destroying or damaging 8 battleships

•Japanese lost 27 aircrafts and five submarines

Challenges: (and how we overcame them)

•Computers, Most of the time I wasn’t able to get a computer and it wasn’t really the best I could do but I over came this by if I got a computer I would try not to fool around and borrow computers from the other class if necessary.

Real World Significance: (How this applies to the real world)

•People that write newspapers and need to gather facts and put them together to format them into a newspaper to be published; the journalists and newspaper writers and press workers

There you go Over and out

Project Purpose:
To understand the difference between Cause/Effect Relationships and Correlations. To understand how and why major events in history are connected and intertwined (think yarn activity!). To research a major event from U.S. history in order to understand why it is significant and how it relates to other major events. To understand features of a feature article and podcast and to be able to create a feature article or podcast about your major event in history.

Project Requirements:
To present the 5Ws of your major event to the class. To write/peer edit/revise a feature article or podcast. To have at least three drafts in your Writing Portfolio. To present a polished version of your feature article or podcast on Media Night, as well as posting it online to our Team Featurecast from the Past web page (made by James).
