7th Grade 2nd Hour BY:Chloe Watson
Mrs.Clayton DB Cooper Preliminary Report: To find my information, I had to dig deep in my research, and find good sites towards the 3rd and 4th page. The sites that looked reliable I clicked on. Citizenslueths.com had very valuable information. There was also a documentary with plenty of good info to use in my essay. I really only needed two sites and I was good to go. The research days went very fast, but I still …show more content…
“When he got on the plane in Portland, Oregon, he was just another passenger who gave his name as D.A. cooper…”-Walter Cronkite. He called himself “D.A.” Cooper , which no one knows if his name is D.A., or D.B. He requested the plane to be at exactly 10,000 feet; a safe skydiving height. He parachuted somewhere between portland and Nevada. Somewhere in the area of Reno, Nevada. If he did survive the jump, the cold weather of november in Nevada probably would have killed him anyways. A new letter from DB Cooper was recently announced to the public for the first time in a freedom of information lawsuit, in reference to the 1971 hijacking and the FBI’s investigation into that now cold case. Cooper said in his letter”I knew from the beginning I wouldn’t get caught”. What’s crazy to me is that no one even saw him jump off the plane to know if he even did jump; he could have fallen. And even if he fell, he still could leave some tracing as to where the heck he is. $5800 in rotting $20 bills was found by a child digging alongside the Columbia river in 1980. No one knows where the money came from, or why the money was there, but they are somehow sure that it was DB …show more content…
I probably would have used more websites. Researching is fun, but it gets a little aburrido after a while. I figured out that I am a pretty good note-taker and researcher after all. I didn’t think that I was a very good researcher because of my highlighting skills; I would highlight every single sentence. But now AI can be sure that I am doing note-taking right. I would probably still use computer note-taking because of how easy it is. And even after I use them for notes, I can print them on a piece of paper and highlight. The first few days of researching went by pretty slowly, but I eventually picked up the pace. Selecting a topic for me for anything is always difficult. So many choices; too many choices. I never know which one to choose. This project took a long time, but I got the hang of it somehow. All in all, I think that this researching project was the most important thing I learned from
