Process Paper
Section 1:
I chose this topic because I like baseball. It has always been my favorite sport, and I knew that I would enjoy learning about the game's history. Also, I wanted to do a website, which often requires multiple pictures and graphics. Baseball, or any sport, is perfect for doing a website because sports are all about what you can see. I chose to do Jackie Robinson because the topic best fit what I was interested in and where I wanted to take my project.
Section 2:
I conducted my research mostly through the use of books. I went to the library website and picked out which books I could use and which books would be useless. Then, I had my books picked up and brought home to me so I could look over them and narrow down my perspective. Once I had done all the research I could with books, I used the Internet and found a few websites and multiple pictures. By combining books and the Internet, I was able to research my topic in the most efficient way possible.
Section 3:
I selected my category because there are lots of pictures on the Internet about baseball in its segregated days, and the easiest way to display those pictures and more information was to do a website. I created my project by looking at my books and figuring out what types of information they would offer up. Next, I made the skeleton of the website- just the pages without any data. Then, I posted pictures and a few short video clips that were relative to my project. Finally, I filled in my website with all the information from my sources.
Section 4:
This project realtes to the theme becuase it played a key role in one of our countries most important events in history: integration. Baseball ws the most popular sport in the 20th century. As black players began to prove over and over again that they could and would play alongside white players, persecution of blacks began to declibe. Baseball was a large part of most people's lives at that time. When people saw their athletic heroes, like Pee Wee Reese or Eddie Stanky, beginning to accept black players, the people would accept them as well. The entrance of Jackie Robinson into baseball was a grounbreaking turning point in American history.
