Unit 1

My group was assigned the June 1855 issue of Harper's New Monthly Magazine for the Unit 1 Project. I have enjoyed this project because it has enabled me to have a look into what life was like in America in the 1850s. The history aspect of the project has definitely been interesting as well as just being able to see the laws and regulations being created in 1855 that are still around or have been nullified today. Our group has also done well splitting up the work and working together despite the difficulties of writing a ten-page paper together.

The only negative aspect of the project so far has been the uncertainty of what exactly everyone in the group is supposed to do to make the paper mesh as it should. Everyone has done a good job writing their own respective sections, but we all seem to have different writing styles. It will be interesting to see how the finalized paper will look to see if our styles do indeed match up well together.
