I chose my topic by first thinking of different categories until I got down toward hispanic frontiers. I eventually found out about Cesar Chavez while in search of my frontier. I started researching more into what he was known for and what he did to help with problems during his time. When searching more about him I went onto google to search more into his life and found more information on what he did when he was still alive.
When I started to search for sources I went to google.com and I was able to find enough sources that I thought were good for my website. Including primary sources and secondary sources.
When picking the category to go with I had a choice between a website or documentary. I made my website by using NHD Web Central. When I started to make the website I made sure to include all the important stuff into it like adding my background, links, and putting my titles.
