I have learned a lot through the making of my project, especially with the battle I had chosen. Said to be one of the most forgotten battles of World War II. The Battle of The Coral Sea was sort of different from all the other battles that were apart of this war. It was a normal thing for Japan to have their upper-hand and all their plans seemed to work to their benefit. But, this was the one time where teamwork between The Allied helped bring down Japanese original plans. So really what I learned was that working together can work to the benefit of the two people who choose to do so.
I wish I would've watched more videos from either historians or even veterans that are still of sound mind enough to recall the events. I watched one from the point of view of some of Australia's veterans that really gave me a feel for what it was like to be a part of that.
The least enjoyable was probably finding a simplistic summary of the battle itself. The sources I used were the most simplistic I could find and many of them had varied in detail. So I checked a few and had to compare which facts were mentioned in the majority and use it.
I don't think there was anything wrong with this project whatsoever. I liked the rubric and I liked the challenges faced when the very common options were taken out when choosing a battle to research. (such as Pearl Harbor or D-Day) We were given many options on how to present the project. I myself chose Powerpoint because of the experience I have with it. It was between it and Glogster but I feel that this type of project needed more text than pictures.
