Independent Reading Project Reflection

For the very first time, I actually jot down notes when reading through the book. I jot down several details before I take them as unimportant to the flow of the story. I don't feel comfortable saying I put 100% effort into this project as I do, in one way or the other, took the relatively easier track during many decisions of this project. However, I do believe I payed decent amount of effort into this. I searched up how to fold envelope to make it more sincere. Also, to make it look old, I took hours in preparing the paper. I took a cup of coffee residual(dust) and rub it on the paper. The moisture makes the paper wet, so I have to use a hair dryer to dry it up. I then crumble it, leave it alone for a while. I continually repeat this process for like 20 times to make it blurry, old, yet still intact. Although my project looks relatively carelessly done and pretty un-aesthetically pleasing, I payed much effort and I believe it raises the value by a lot. I think I can make it better by making an even bigger map with more details. That might help increasing the validity of the map as back at that time, they don't just use A4 paper. They take bigger papers to jot down those stuff.
