Before the project could officially begin, I had to develop a project proposal. The purpose of a project proposal is to convince the sponsor to let our project develop and solve a particular problem.
My Discovery Question for this project is how did the construction of the railroad break barriers in the gilded age? this question will require me to investigate the construction of the railroad.
In this project I propose to create a railroad with a train on top of it. I chose this because I'm great a building and drawing, so I will represent my skill by creating a representation of how the railroad broke barriers in the gilded age.
