K
They used to wear leather helmets. Close the beginning the would use white footballs in night games to see the ball.

L
I learned what I wanted to learn. I learned about how the helmets and the equipment have changed. That is what I wanted to learn. I made a page about the equipment. I would want to add more if I had more time.

W
How the helmets have changed over the years? Who and where were in the first super bowl?

A
I will try to add more to the website because I didn't cover it all. Once I'm satisfied I will try to tell people who love the sport to come check out my website and inform them how it has changed. Then I will make more videos chowing how it has changed for the people that I didn't tell.

H
I will use websites and my own knowledge of football.

Q

I wonder how the Super Bowls have changed. How the quarterbacks have changed like can they throw it farther or be more mobile.

REFLECTION
I learned how the equipment has changed. The equipment has changed drastically because we no more now then before. Making my website and my collage. It was also looking back to see what I got done in the 12 periods. The helmet section was the easiest because I knew a lot about the already. I new they started with leather helmets and ended with the modern day helmets. I will try to add more to my website because I didn't get a lot done. So I'm going to work on time management.

This passion time round was very fun and challenging. The hardest part was creating my website and finding out about Sherman Poppen's family and his life. I really liked creating the website and gathering the facts but sometimes I got hung up on stuff like deciding if the fact is good. Next time I will try to get more facts and do my website quicker. I will also work on it at home more and try to get my blog done in the last 2 periods. I will continue to work on my website by adding more pages.
