4.What outstanding questions do you have about the project? I was interested in knowing where exactly stone mountain is, I have never heard of it before and it would be nice if you found a map showing where its general area is.
Summary statements
1.Describe at least one thing the project got right. Explain why you think this. I think the project is very informative. It has details that make it very interesting that I wouldn't have thought to put in if I were doing the project. I really liked the info about the clams and shrimp in the small depressions at the top of the mountain, and the information about the quarry was great as well.
2.Describe at least one thing the project got wrong or that you think the authors could have done better. Explain your reasoning. I would like to see a few more photos about some of the things talked about in the project. I have never seen a "rare georgia oak" or the top of the mountain or the views from the top, and I would really like to! It sounds like a great place from the text and I would just like to see a little more of it in the project.
3.Summarize your opinion of the project. The Project was very informative and interesting. You can tell that the author really enjoys this place, because I enjoyed reading what he had to say. It made me want to take a road trip to visit someday.
Response to comments
Thank you for your comments. I fixed the sentence. I added a picture of the view from the top of the mountain and of a rare Georgia Oak tree. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to put a google map of Stone Mountain on my page. I'm glad you enjoyed all of my information. Stone Mountain is an awesome place to visit as long as you enjoy the outdoors and nature.
