I have to admit, I had a lot of fun with my recent project. For Humanities 11, we had to preform a simulation of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. All the students formed into groups, and each group was assigned a country that was present and relevant at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. We had Italy, Japan, The United Kingdom of Great Britain, The United States of America, France, and Germany. There were also two students acting as moderators. They then all studied up then did a role-play of the Paris Peace Conference and the drafting of the Treaty of Versailles, and some things turned out differently in the role-play than they did in reality, and so our end Treaty of Versailles was different than the real one. What country group was I in, you may ask. Well, I wasn’t in a country group, I was in a group playing the role of the media. We recorded and reported on the project, and I think we did a pretty good job.

Carl, Estella, and I were tasked with writing both a newspaper and creating an in-depth video newscast, and don’t get me wrong, we came across quite a few problems. The biggest problem being that since this conference would go differently from the real one, we could only report on these things after they happened, and so we had very limited time to write, record, and edit, these news articles and reports. I’m going to be perfectly honest, I stayed up until 4:30 AM this Thursday morning working on finishing editing together, writing, and voicing over this project. So I really hope we did a good job. And personally, I think we did. But that’s only my opinion, you can go ahead and tell me your opinion in the comments.
