I found this topic in an interesting way. In class we were getting
information for NHD, and found out about the theme “Turning Points in History”.
I was thinking of something that changed the world and it hit me, motorized
vehicles. So than I was thinking of a specific type of motorized vehicle and
thought of the Model-T Ford. This topic seemed really cool because I’m a type of
person who loves to work with cars and technology. This was a great topic for my
likes.
My research was done with mostly the internet. In school and at home I
would go on the computer and look for information on the Model-T. I went on
Google and searched “how the Model-T changed the world.” There were several
great websites; only a couple provided little information.
There were two or three videos on YouTube I also found and put on my
website. Finally, pictures helped decorate my
website.
I selected my presentation category pretty similar to how I selected my
topic. I love everything to do with technology and creativeness and cars. So,
because I love technology I chose to do a website. I got the chance to work with
what I know and love to do. It was great to design my own website and make it
how I wanted it to be. It was really cool to be able to do this and I would like
to do it again.
I think my project fits in really well with this year’s theme because it
changed the world. The Model-T did a lot of things. It had a major part in the
assembly line, part of the industrial revolution, and gave a new way of travel.
The Model-T Ford also replaced carriages and buggies. The carriages would often
break down and this replaced that with a sturdy vehicle. The Model-T was a
cheap affordable car for citizens to buy. This seemed to fit in with the theme
really well to me.
