- Strategic Learners: As this is a self-directed project, we need to think of questions and
research on our own in order to collect the information needed. We also need to plan
well on our work management to complete the project in time.
- Articulate Communicators: Our fiction is based on real events which happened in the
past. We have to express these information in a simple way which is also fun to read.
- Altruistic Global Citizens: We learn to be good citizens by studying how people in the
past maintain a peaceful or chaotic society.
- Leaders for the Future: We study about how important people during the American
Revolution impacted society. So, within our group, we can evaluate how their
decisions was wise or not and apply them to our lives.

Mind: I have a multimodal learning preference, VARK, my score is Visual 4 Aural 3 Read/Write
5 Kinesthetic 4. However, according to each score, my best learning style is reading or writing.
So I plan about my researching process that, first, Ill try to find as much important information
as possible, from different kinds of sources: websites, journals and books. Then, as Im
reading the article or content, Ill write some short notes for reminding myself the main points,
and for sharing and explaining it to groupmates in order to get the right and further
understanding on the topic. Lastly, after my group and I applied our learning strategies and
achieved the efficient research process, we will all gather what weve got, and create our
masterpiece, our product. As we start the researching process, Ill start off by searching on the
historical websites for articles about the overall event, then Ill look for some presentations or
videos showing further about the situation, circumstances, and maybe, life of people.
Minnie: I have a multimodal learning style, with the highest scores in visual and auditory
strategies. For the research part, I would gather information by watching videos on
explanations of the topics and try to find infographics or timelines of the events during the
American Revolution, for example I would search for videos on History.com. If I have time, I
would look for information on both American and British websites to make sure the sources
arent biased. I would then make a summary of the informations by drawing a mind map. I
might discuss the questions about the topic with my group to further understand and to be
able to feel like being a person in that period of time, which will be helpful for writing this
fiction.
Genie: I have done several questions on website to test my skills and my best skill is my read
and writing skills. This skill is serve for the reading articles and try to understand it clearly. I
plan to research the topic in many websites or different sources of information related to my
topic and read the articles and rewrite it to make it easier for reader to understand. While
reading, I will try to summarize the article and find the key point of it. I will start with research
for the articles of the historians and situation that happen so it would help me to connect the
facts together.
