The past few weeks have been really stressful for PLP students because we had a lot of work to do. We were working on a World War I project, which was really important to me. I had always wanted to learn about the world wars but never had the chance. This project became my favorite, not just in PLP but in all of my school years. I’ve always been interested in old mysteries and wars, and World War I has both, so I found it very interesting.
Even though I enjoyed the project, I think it could have been planned out better. The learning part went by very quickly, which was good, but I feel we needed more time to work on our comic books. If we had about a week less of learning and more time to focus on our projects, it would have been better. I’m not sure if others felt the same way, but I think more time for the project would have made it even better.
The comic book part of the project was especially exciting. It let us be creative while using what we learned about World War I. But with the tight schedule, it was hard to balance the research and the creative work. With more time, I think I could have made my comic book even more detailed and interesting.
The group talks and working together were really valuable parts of the project. Hearing different perspectives and working as a team helped me understand the war better. Despite the stress, these interactions made the project more enjoyable and informative.
In the end, even though it was a stressful time, the World War I project was a great experience and very memorable for me. It made me more interested in history and showed me how important it is to balance learning with creative work.
