Introduction-Dear+Reader

Dear Reader,

 For my project I chose a topic which was about the U.S. army that went to Somalia in 1992-1994. I chose this mostly because of the movie “Black Hawk Down”. This was a movie based on the U.S. army that went to Somalia in 1992-1994. When I watched “Black Hawk Down” I got more and more interested about what was happening and why it happened in the movie as it moved along. Even though I was too young to watch this violent movie I still managed to watch the movie and visualize what these troops were going through during their deployment to Somalia. I thought this was a good time for me to learn about an event that added to the American history. American history is definitely something important to learn over a student's time while we are still in school.

 Finding the information about this topic was definitely a process. In the beginning I went on websites and books to find information on the topic. I gathered a good amount of information so that I could get a better grasp of my topic. After I gathered all the information needed, I used this information and utilized it as I put them into 5 different genres. What surprised me is that I could use a wanted poster that would represent this information to teach people about the U.S. army that went to Somalia in 1992-1994. Each genre represents information, but in different ways because each genre is styled different and appeal differently. Making this multi-genre project was a long process, but was beneficial to my learning and hopefully is to yours.

From, Tim Day
