Process Paper

By: Matthew T. Collins

My thesis is that the exploration of Greenland was important because of the

dangers and efforts Erik and his men were put through as they discovered and
explored Greenland. I chose my topic because I thought that not many people knew
of Erik the Red so I decided people need to know how important he is. I chose my
topic originally from a non-specific topics about just Vikings.
But then my eye caught on a website about Erik and noticed that we should
narrow down our topic to Erik the Red. I researched my topic by visiting the local
public library and searching the web. I developed our project by using my dads tips
about making a website to create a weebly.
My topic relates to the theme of Erik and his team Exploring Greenland,
making new Encounters in Greenland, and Exchanging goods with Iceland and
nearby Inuit. This also proves my thesis is correct because they faced deadly
situations with the Inuit and other organisms on Greenland at the time.
This event completely changed history. It shows how important he was at the
time. To society, this is as important in history as Leif Eriksson discovered North
America. I also went to my partners house to work on the website there. Thats
where we did the formatting and put our research onto the website. While we were
there, we created our introduction on the Home page and we checked over the
sentences to make sure they were complete sentences. Then I put the annotated
bibliography and the process paper onto the site. Then we checked over it to make
sure we were inside the word limit and checked over the website to make sure it
made all the requirements of the NHD Rulebook. We then checked over the website
once more to make sure there werent any grammatical errors or anything like
glitches or bugs in the site. Then we debated on who would present the website
itself.
