Process Paper
I choose my topic by reflecting on myself to find what interests me the most. I thought about choosing the Manhattan Project, but as I conducted more research the statics disheartened me. When I saw the option of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse, I thought of all the admirable and cheerful commodity that they have given the United States. Disney has become a global empire such like other companies and I wanted to in-depth my knowledge on the foundation of one of the greatest companies in the world.
I conducted my research by keeping an open mind to new ideas of Disney’s excellence when finding myself pulled in different directions based on the information given. I choose websites that my teacher recommended to make up that the information I was gathering is accurate. I also looked at many pictures to visualize what I was reading and therefore paraphrasing into my own research. I also made sure that I was enjoying myself as I was moving forward in the project because if I wouldn’t want to take the time to glance at my project, what would make others, such as myself, look at my work.
Choosing my presentation category was easy. I cannot draw for the life of me, but I can navigate a computer particularly well, and that’s why I choose a website. I knew that between a poster and website, creating a website would be fun and more of a challenge to me by competing with myself to make it the best. I created my project by choosing the best facts that would relate to my theme and then described in detail which each of them have to do with Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. Then I separated them into different subsections so that my website wouldn’t be hard and difficult to navigate.
My topic connects to this year’s National History Day project because Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse, the dynamic duo, they created many new changes in the way Americans view animation, sound quality, and propaganda for and against political events. Disney preceded to change America with his cunning edge creativity and with the help of the ever-so-famous mouse they were able to take the world by storm.
