Third Reflection

I have decided to change the project a bit and will now be making miniature models capable of launching rocks, which I will demonstrate, and a larger model of the ballista, which I will film in action, and bring it in on DVD. I will be keeping the research the same. I have not really started, and I am going to start looking for my person to interview. I plan to start research this week.

2nd Reflection

This is my first reflection, and I haven't really started the project, just determined what I am going to do. I have changed it from having all my models of the siege weapons be miniature, and now I am going to have my catapults be miniature, and the Ballista bigger. I think that that would work, and I could shoot a stick out of the Ballista or something. I also want the catapults workable so I can launch a little rock out of it. I don't think there will be many problems, since I just have to research them, and when they were used in battle, and then make models of them.

First Reflection

My eighth grade project is on medieval siege weapons, such as the giant crossbow, or ballista. I plan to research the differant weapons, and when they are used in battle, and then make models of the weapon. I plan to mostly research ballistas, trebuchets, and the catapult.
