Reflection
Explain your decision making for choosing the bill.
I decided to choose this bill because I realized it was created after the Patriot Act and it was taking away our rights that were given to us in the constitution. It really created a lot of interest and made me want to look into it more.
Why did you choose the particular presentation format?
To make a movie and something visual with actual clips of the situation makes people want to pay more attention. History isn't the most liked topic, mainly because people find it boring, therefore I thought something visual would make it stand and pop out to its viewers.
What challenges did you overcome in completing the project?
The main problem was finding a lot of information about this bill because it was hidden from Congress and was not passed.
How would you do the project differently if you had to do it over again?
Probably make a better storyline or choose a different bill.
What did the research and investigation tell you about the creation process... from idea to bill to law?
The creation process doesn't seem as complicated as it really is. It starts off as a problem, then a group of people coming up with a plan to fix that problem, then if everyone agrees on it (Congress) it'll become a law.
Was the process easier or harder than you imagined based on your particular bill/law research?
It was harder then I expected. It was hard to find a bill/law that wasn't as confusing and had a lot of info to use in a story line.
