process paper
We chose our topic because we wanted to do something that had to do with Texas. We thought it would be interesting to see what impact a hurricane would have in the beginning of the 20th century. We thought it would be fascinating to learn about this tragic event in history. Galveston has changed so much since this hurricane and we wanted to learn about old Galveston.
We conducted our research by first ordering books from the library. We looked at helpful websites with reliable information to give us some basic knowledge about the hurricane. Then, we looked a weather report from that night to help us understand how the storm was created and how intense it was.
We selected our presentation category, a website, because it seemed easy and fun to do, and we could work on it individually. It was a good choice because we both have busy schedules and this way we did not have to meet up to work on our project. We made pages on our website about the hurricane, fun facts about the storm and Galveston, the weather category, and pictures of the hurricane.
Our topic relates to the NHD theme because it changed Galveston forever. Killed a lot of people, therefore ruining the economy. This devastated the city and there were lots of families lost, orphans, and widows and widowers. Nobody wanted to move to Galveston anymore and Houston became the new big city in Texas.
