This process has been different from what I imagined. When Mr. Boyle said that we would be able to do a project that would reflect our interests, I thought that there would be a wider range of topics to choose from that touched on all different types of people. Instead, I thought that they were all geared towards the enviornment or muesams themselves. I understand why this might be the case - we are in a history class, people, I'm not stupid - but there are so many other topics within that branch that could have been addressed. Most of the quests involved doing some sort of art project, like making a collage or drawing an artistic interpretation of something, which was hard to do in a computer lab and not an art classroom. This severely limited the quests that I was both interested in and had the means to do.
