Choosing my topic was a difficult task I had to face due to the verities of options, I didn’t really know where to begin. However with the help from my teacher, I was able to come to a decision but that eventually formed into another idea. At first I was interested in immigration and the effect it had on America. Later, I learned that this topic was a too broad to get into details so while trying to find a way to narrow my topic, I saw Alexander Graham Bell’s name and I knew what my topic would be.
I began with just searching his name and reading general information about him. From those information, I began finding more details on the information I’ve already gotten. I conducted additional research to make sure the things I understood from one source checked with other sources. I also made sure to search for both primary and secondary sources. These researches allowed me to be able to support and state my thesis.
For the presentation portion of this project, I wanted to do either a documentary or a website. I thought both of the format would be an interesting way to present information to viewers. At first I decided to present my project as a documentary since I was used to playing around with imoive but I reconsidered this decision because I wanted to try something new. So, I ended up making a website!
Alexander Graham Bell has left a prominent legacy and has led businesses and innovation around the world. In my project, Innovate, I used my research as evidence to support the legacy Bell has left behind, his leadership in this world and my thesis. Creating a device that allowed feasible communication, being the one to always undertake challenges and constantly trying to make a difference in the world explicitly relates to the NHD theme, leadership and legacy. Throughout the project, I get more into the details and provide analysis on how the actions he took presented leadership skills and now has left a phenomenal legacy.
