French les catacombes project

For this project I created a visual and a writing. A link to the writing is here:https://spark.adobe.com/page/tTtbwwiXHHNsf/. My topic was the catacombs of Paris. One goal that I completed was I learned more about the history of Paris all the way back from when the Romans had just built this limestone mine to the ticket price of the catacombs of Paris now. Another goal I completed was learning more about the Renaissance. I do not know much about the Renaissance but this helped me know more about the political problems of Paris during this time period (1300-1600). A final goal I completed was making a diorama while also using clay. I do not usually do projects like this so it was a goal in itself just to make my visual look pretty good. During this project I learned that the Paris metro has line 1 to 14 as well as 3bis and 7bis. I also learned the RER passes through Paris though is mostly used to get to the suburbs of Paris. I also learned that every line has a different color. I have also already learned about the Paris metro because I have gone to Paris before and used to be fascinated with trains in general so the Paris metro was included in that group. One thing I learned was that a french man wrote Little Red Riding Hood and was buried in the catacombs. His name was Charles Perault. My favorite part of this project was when I was building the diorama because I got to use clay and paper for a project in French class!!! Also, it is just really fun to play with clay and paper.
