Paragraph 1We got the idea to do the airport because Ethan was interested about Bradley Airport. He wanted that for his choice. I wasn’t as interested in that topic but we agreed for our second option to be Bradley Airport and our first option to be the Tornado of 79. This compromise worked out well for the both of us. When we got our paper back we got put with our second choice. I was okay with this and Ethan was too. This topic is very important to Windsor Locks because of the socioeconomic impact it had and how It generates lots of jobs in the community.
Paragraph 3We built our product by pieces we first set the website up so we knew where we were putting stuff so it was organized and ready to go. Next we worked on the home page which was just the introduction to our topic and some pictures of the airport. After that we made a about page was just some basic information about the airport, we didn't go in to much detail in that section. Next we assigned roles so we can get it done faster, while I was doing the history part Ethan worked on the science part and we got that done in a day. Next we worked on the math part together because that was going to be the toughest part. Then we decided to put our process paper on the website so people can see what the process of doing a big project is. Finally we put the works cited in order and put it on the website so we can give credit to other authors. From this experience I learned how to manage my time and work efficiently with a partner to get this big project done.

Paragraph 2The bulk of our research came from the internet. At first we had trouble finding sources but we did find some good webpages. We also used the website connecticuthistory.org because it had a lot of great information about the history of Bradley over the years. It had multiple pages to look at it, each page had very valuable information. We also used a book which had a some information but not a lot. The sources we used were websites, a book and a newspaper article. We also had to visit the public library to get some information that we couldn't find on the internet or at the school library.
Paragraph 4Bradley Airport is significant to Windsor Locks history because it changed Windsor Locks forever. Before Windsor Locks had the airport it was a industrial and farming community, Windsor locks was not a very rich town in the 40s. The airport helped bring businesses to Windsor locks like restaurants and hotels witch helped the economics of Windsor locks. It also gave jobs to people who needed one. It changed the whole town of Windsor Locks forever.
