At first Bennett wanted to research Benjamin Franklin but his teacher nixed that idea saying he was too common, to think outside the box a little more. Next he came up with MLK, Jr., but again, another prominent figure, worthy of studying, but too well known. The idea was to learn about someone lesser known but that still made an historical impact. Thinking along those lines, Bennett decided on Malcolm X.
He created this website using Weebly. I was super impressed! So was his teacher. He made a 97% on this project that he spent 2 months working on. I learned a lot about Malcolm X that I never knew. I'm glad he did this project.
The teacher picks out the top 15 projects in the school and those students go on to Regionals, then State, then Nationals in Washington D.C. I look forward to seeing how far Bennett's hard work takes him.
