Hello, and welcome back to my blog! Today we’re getting a bit historical; and looking at some work I did on the subject of Louis Riel.
We’ve been studying who Louis Riel was when he was alive; but mostly on what Canadians perspectives were on him in both the past and the future. By looking at a few sources, I’ve gotten my answer. But that will come at the conclusion of the post. For now, we’re going to reflect on the work that I did.

Now, in total I wrote 3 paragraphs on Louis Riel. Mainly about how he was portrayed by artists in Sculptures. If you’re curious, here are the sculptures I took a look at.

Cool sculptures! Anyway, I used these examples in my post to think up of some ideas of what the artists wanted to portray. And, by looking at these sculptures, It’s pretty easy to know what the artists were going for, But I digress.

Now, what did I learn? Well, I learned a lot of things, mainly about Louis Riel, but also a lot about Métis history. While it was centred around Louis Riel, I was still learning about other Canadians involved, that be they were on Riel’s side or not. I was also learning how to pick out important information amongst side info that I didn’t really need. It comes in handy when note-taking.

A good representation of my learning can actually be seen in this image. Here’s my before and after of what my Riel paragraphs looked like.

And after!

In conclusion, I think I’ve written some pretty good paragraphs. I worked hard on this project, and working hard is half the battle. The other half is doing research and practice.
