Our Process Paper

Greek and Persians’wars abide for the topic we as a group picked. From

analyzing and researching the different topics, Greek and Persians’wars, fit as the

theme the group str ived for. Towards the final decision making process, our theme

creates a well descriptive and less popular topic for the Fair. This way our project

would be unique and different. Therefore, the Greek and Persians Wars demonstrated a

strong topic that fits al l the criteria.

To start off, the group conducted research as well as contained information

needed about the Greek and Persians’wars. After some time, we met together and

summarized the main topics that we found out. While understanding the amount of

knowledge each of us contained, we divided up the work task evenly amongst

ourselves. To prevent a collective act ion problem, the responsibi lity towards our parts

had a great amount of effort for each of us. For example Jonathan got the task of

looking up research about the encounters that happened throughout the wars. Hence,

we strived to gain knowledge but also using our time wisely as a group through the

use of dividing the work.

A website was selected due to our different schedules. Since we could star t the

process at any time, even from home, we gained the opportunity to demonstrate our

creativity and information through the use of technology. Thus, we decreased the

amount of confl ict throughout the group but yet still worked on our individual parts at

any time. This decreased the amount of confusion, t ime, and stress from finding out

when we could al l work together. At times, we did decide to meet up and check on our

progress as well as discuss of future encounters for the websi te. We constructed the

website though the use of our creative minds. Our goal consists of making others want

to educate themselves from our websi te. Therefore we included music in our main

areas to attract the audience. The use of pictures would captivate the audience and

create pathos and ethos appeal based of the appreciation from the works of the art . We

strived for logos through the information that each of us contained on all the pages.

Fur thermore, our format contains a professional and educational look for others to

understand as well as enjoy.

This topic relates to National History Day theme due to the change of the past

to our future. Although it happened in another country, it has and st ill affects us. Even

the smallest things can change our future and create a dramatic difference. Therefore,

we as a group, stand for the change that reinvented our future based off Ancient

Greece.
