Process Paper
I chose this topic because I felt learning about the history of the El Paso Fire
Department would be gratifying and because there are many firefighters in my
family.
I conducted my research by first searching the Internet for information on the
history of the El Paso Fire Department. I searched for articles and for images.
Next I went to the Downtown public library. I searched for books having
anything to do with The History of El Paso or the El Paso Fire Department. Then
I took notes, created works cited sheets and grouped information together. I
created and developed my project by organizing my research and notes. Then I
chose the images I wanted to include in my project. I thought about how I could
present my data in the most efficient and effective way.
I decided to create a web page. The reason I decided to create a web page is
because technology is the way of the future. I enjoy creating things on the
computer and felt I could creatively present my information in a special way on
a web page. I went to the NHD website and used the weebly website creator then
began designing my website. Next I made seven pages on my website and began to
put in information.
My project relates to the theme Frontiers because the El Paso Fire Department was a
crucial addition to the building and foundation of the city of El Paso.
My project relates to the theme odyssey because learning about the history of every
fire in El Paso is like going back in time. Learning about life back then and
how technology has grown. My Project relates to the theme systems because there
are many different groups involved in the El Paso Fire
Department.
My project relates to the theme Diversity because of all of the struggles they had
to go through to create the fire department we have today, how women came into
the fire department, we went from a volunteer system to a paid fire
department.
