Catherine the Great
I'm not sure if I will enjoy this project. I like Weebly's because they're cool to look at, and once you're finished, you feel pretty proud of yourself, but if you're a perfectionist like me, then during the process of making a Weebly, you will tear your hair out. Anyway, I'll make it through :)
I am currently deciding on my topic and question. A topic I have developed at interest in how we know about Catherine the Great's life. This was because lately we have been looking at a lot of videos on Catherine's life. What I noticed was that almost all of them were extremely dramatic, had very similar information and paid a good deal of attention on her love life. I wondered why - and thought about what sources these films would have used. This leads to my topic of interest - Catherine's Memoirs and Letters.
Personally, the memoirs sound more interesting than the letters, because I think her reflections would be interesting to read - deducing her character and perspective on events and ideas. I have searched her Memoirs up, and read a little bit - and she sounds very knowledgeable and contemplative, BUT she uses words with phrasing much like Latin: sentences that are paragraphs long with fancy words everywhere. That will be fun to decipher (sarcasm here.)
Not sure where the question will go, yet, but looking forward to finding something that will be fun. But - on a side note, today's the second last day of school! Wooot~ Maybe I'll watch a Catherine the Great movie later or a book, if Ms Colmer seriously insists.
