Our adult coaches were Ms. Brill and Mr. Pyatt. They contributed us in this project by giving us information how to create a webpage, how to do a proper citation, and other informations which were useful in our project. We all joined together to do this project, because we wanted to educate people about different diseases in the world. We all together did research, Jessica and Carey both did webpages and combined them. Carey also designed the webpage. Whole team made a hard work to distribute the site about diseases.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
Difficulties that we faced during making the website was communication among our group member that we did the same topic to research but not the united context. So we have to fix and combine it together. And we have no match time, so we did our work separately. Also we have a member whose native language is not English, so the grammar and structure was maybe hard for her. The program was hard to control, but we tried our best.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
I feel really honored and fresh because it was my first time to participate in Doors to Diplomacy as a group. And I’m happy and be thankful to my group members that they helped me a lot and doing their best job.
6. How did your activities and research for this Doors to Diplomacy Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
The content standards our doors to diplomacy project addressed is that we are telling everyone about different diseases so others will know what is happening when they have different symptoms,this project fit into your required school guidelines because doors to diplomacy is all about sharing and telling others what to do and helping others so this is a good project,the new skills that we learnt is that we need to work together and work hard to make a thing good and it's all about talking to each other and helping each other,we better understand specific ideas when we know how this will affect others and we know what other people needs,using internet for teaching and learning been more effective than traditional methods because when you research something on the internet there might be other people's feelings or opinions, we can take the opinions and consider again about our own opinion.
