Process
At the start of this project, I've already had experience with blogs so I didn't have any trouble setting up my blog. Once I had chosen my template, blog url, etc., I started to search for information. On our trip to the library, I was hoping there would be some books on him. It turned out that I couldn't find anything about him. There were only books on the revolutionary war in general and about one sentence about him in it. Most of my information came from the internet. He was basicly only famous for his last speech so there was no other format to folow except by answering the questions. When I had finished everything, I made the bibliography, work process, etcc.
