8: Reflection | There were many positives and negatives throughout my project. Primarily, mix book was an easy program to use, which allowed me to do more complex configuration with ease. However, a negative was technical difficulties as mix book encountered problems as the website didn't work at times. Plus, some of the picture didn't pop up when added to the project. Improvements for next time include lengthier paragraphs and including more inventions of Archimedes. Overall, I believe I had a great project that depicted Archimedes in many ways with his journey for the truth.
