Dolley Madison


















This is my beutiful wife Dolley.

Statement of Process

In my project I decided to use books instead of websites. I still used some websites but i used more books. I did this because I think that the books gave more information then the websites. And sometimes websites information is wrong. I decided to do James Madison for my project because he was the last one on the list that I knew. He turned out to be very interesting.

Reflection

Reflection



I actually liked this project, I liked making the project on a blog better then handing something in. I found information easily. One book I used had so much on James Madison. It was very interesting to learn about him and fun.

The project was one of the easiest projects we ever did to me. Im glad that when we were doing this project we didn't have to do another project at the same time becuase, I hate having two or three projects to do at the same time.

Friends with James Madison

If James Madison was still alive then I would deffinitley want to be his friend. He sounds like a really cool person. We actually have a lot in common. We both don't like to speak in front of big crouds. And, we both
tried to do something once and failed and then we tried it again and we suceeded. I think that he was really nice and he probably wasn't a snob.
I also think that he would be a good friend and not be the kind of friend who leaves you behind for someone cooler.
