We received a paper regarding various topics that we can choose
for the history fair project. Searching through the topics we all decided as a
group to do Barbie. We chose Barbie because it was our favorite toys when we
were little kids.
To conduct our research our group members went on our computer
and I pad to find research about Barbie. The websites we used were Destiny Quest
and much more. We looked up a lot of history and facts about
Barbie.
My teacher informed us the variety of ways we can present our
projects. There were choices such as exhibits, research paper, performance,
documentary, iMovie and a website. Out of these six choices, a website seemed
best because we all love working with technology and have more experience in
working with technology. This project was completed by using weebly.com to
create our website. We added facts and pictures to make it more
interesting.
Barbie’s turning point in history is that she has made people
starve themselves and become anorexic from trying to have the “Barbie body.”
People are jealous of Barbie’s success in having so many careers . Approximately
eight million people have an eating disorder just to try to get her body. People
were led to believe that the only way to be perfect is by looking like
Barbie.
