Reflection paragraph on process

This project was a very interesting project. It was pretty eas just real time consuming. I really enjoyed looking up all the pictures about snowboarding and seeing all the different syles of snowboarding. I disliked how much time it took to do this project. If I had to do this project again I wouldn't do anything differently, and I probably research about fishing.

Reflection paragraph on sources

It was very easy to find the sources that I used. They had multiple paragraphs that I used in this project. The one I think was the most useful is "The Snowboarding History" website. It was the most useful because it had a lot of paragraphs about my project. Finding these sources made my project a lot easier.

Reflection paragraph on findings

"Modern snowboarding began in 1965 when Sherman Poppen, an engineer in Muskegon, Michigan, invented a toy for his daughter by fastening two skis together and attaching a rope to one end so she would have some control as she stood on the board and glided downhill. Dubbed the “snurfer” (combining snow and surfer), the toy proved so popular among his daughter’s friends that Poppen licensed the idea to a manufacturer that sold about a million snurfers over the next decade. And, in 1966 alone over half a million snurfers were sold."

Paragraph #2

"In 1994 Snowboarding was declared as an Olympic Sport. Now it finally became accepted as a real competetive sport, not only a new trend which would disapear again. In the 1998 Olympics it was the first time ever that Snowboarding was accepted as an olympic sport. The new sport snowboarding was a huge success. But still people could find some of their prejudices about Snowboarders beeing affirmed."
