Project Progress #2

I still like my idea to do the important landmarks and monuments in Yorktown for the research section of my project, and for the creative section I was still going to use a map and place my personal landmarks around the area.

Final Project Presentation #1

I have two ideas for a final project but I can not pick one for certain. I was thinking about the capitalization of graveyards in New Orleans with the tours through them, I was thinking about writing the voices of different spirits and how depending on their status in life (rich and poor) and what […]
