Nirit Grade XII/6 (Mohandas Gandhi)
The vocabulary and terms exercises were easy. It was a little difficult
deciding which quotes were more important than others and it was very interesting
seeking further information relating to the article.
What did I learn about myself? I learned that I should take more time
to look into the details because things aren't always what they seem to
be.
I would like to do another project, though I would like to focus more
on further research.

Lola XII/6 ((Mohandas Gandhi)
Firstly, I would like to say that it was kind of fun! Of course, the reading
part was the best for me; I had the best article written by a genius- Salman
Rashdie. His writing is not only interesting, but sinicall and sadly enuff,
true.
The part when I had to mark words and quots was unnecesesery and boring..
I found tons of interesting material. Too bad I used so litle of it.
Finaly, I would like to say again that the project was fun, but I'll
never do it again, I'm too lazy!

The project was very interesting for me. Lenin is for my opinion a very
important person, who contributed a lot to the "looks" of the 20th century.
I would like to do this again sometimes.It's kind of fun.

Ronen XII/6 (Albert Einstein)
I must say that at first (after we started) I didn't want to do this work.
It seemed too big and annoying, so I didn't put efforts in it. After I
passed the first stage (reading and listing words) I loved it. I think
this work contributed me a lot of knowledge about Einstein, both his personality
and his scientific work, a knowledge I felt I'm lacking.
I think another project like this would be fun to do, only if I don't
have other big assignments. It forces you to learn and work so teachers
can really see if a student is trying or not.

I found the reading of the artical easy, I also found the listing of words
whice were difficult, very useful. I don't think that the artical was interesting,
in fect it really annoyed me that that is what Jonathan D. Spence had to
say about Mao Zedong. I think that the wrtier of the artical should have
focused on the aspect of the reavolution that Mao did and the special character
of Mao, that made this revolution work and to explain why he could do that
and nobody eles could.
I did not had to look for information on the Culther revolution because
my Chinese teacher tought me but I did look and read som.
NO! I would not like to have another project because I didn't enjoy
this one, and did not find it interesting.

Elad XII/6 (Winston Churchill)
Finding another information about Churchill was both interesting and easy,
eventhough translating that information to English was not so easy.
I have learnt from this project that English has a large amount of
words and that "TIME" magazine uses a lot of them!
I don't like the part of the oral presentation because it is in front
of the whole class.
