Today I have thought about a possible topic that I can do. I am very interested in cults and think that it could be an interesting thing to research!
General overview

- What makes cult leaders so powerful and captivating

Specific case study?
I could pick a specific cult to research
- Jones town
- The Manson Family
- The Family
- Branch Davidians

For this lesson I watched some videos about the aum shinrikyo cult. I think that it is very interesting and could make for a good historical investigation

This lesson we worked in class on our assignments. I have had trouble figuring out what sources to do in relation to Aum Shinrikyo. Many of the sources I have found were more pop culture and weren't historical. Mrs hughes said it would be easier if I changed topics.
Possible options:
- French Revolution
------> Marie-Antoinette
-Eva Peron

-The abolishment of slavery
----->Abraham Lincoln
------>Harriet Tubman
Towards the end of the lesson Mrs suggested that I could do Harriet Tubman and she sounds very interesting so I think I will do her. Here is a quick summary from Wikipedia. (dw I won't use it in my final product)
"Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and political activist. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad." Wikipedia

I have chosen my first source. It is a primary source of Tubman's testimony where she reflects on her time in slavery which I found in a book online. I also completed my analysis of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I looked for a possible second source for my analysis. I looked on google scholar but then I found out that their is actually a movie about Tubman called "Harriet" I watched the movie and then thought that I could actually analyse that instead.

Possible presentation methods
- Prezi
-Powerpoint
-Video
-Podcast
-Essay
I think that I will make a video essay
Reasons for this are that i think that it is an easier way to incorporate sources and also I can add in visuals like photos and videos. e.g scenes from Harriet movie
This will make the finished product much more interesting than just a essay

# data[].attributes.body
In todays lesson I structured out how I will write my essay here is an example
- description of Tubman
-thesis statement (referring to question)
- brief description of what i will be talking about in remainder of essay
Paragraph one

Today I did a little more work on my essay, I wrote some more about Tubman's work in the Underground Railway and learnt about the fugitive slave act which made it more dangerous for Tubman to help rescue slaves.
I also downloaded some images and videos to use in my final video (-:
