Our project is a documentary on our topic which is Diana, Princess of

Wales and how she broke the royal barrier. We chose our topic because

we’ve always heard stories about how amazing and inspirational

Princess Diana was. What really interested us was how she constantly

broke royal protocol to care for and help others because no princess had

ever really done something to that extent before. For narrowing down

topics, we really didn’t really have to narrow anything down because

the second we heard the theme was “Breaking Barriers”, we both

immediately thought of Princess Diana and once we got that topic

okayed we just stuck with it. We started with what charities she

supported and what she did for them. Then we researched what her life

was like as a mother, wife, and royalty. For sources, There were a

couple of sources that we found that were full of resources about her

life. There was one source where it had many other sources at the end of

the article that led to more sources. At first, we went to the library and

we looked for books about her life and work and we found many books

about her. Then we had many reliable resources that help us get more

done research. We chose to participate in the documentary category

mainly because we enjoy working computers with things like editing

which is the main part of creating the documentary, and also because

one of us enjoys film-making and the documentary category is

somewhat similar to film-making.
