1. Who is your "I am..." person? What made you interested in this person? 2. Explain what you already knew about your "I am..." person prior to beginning your research. 3. What are some of the questions that came into your mind about your person while researching? What did you wonder about? ====**-> For my “I am” project, I chose Levi Strauss. The reason why I chose him was because I knew that he is the founder of the famous American jean-making company called Levi Strauss. That meant that he started the new trend in fashion back then and since I am really interested in fashion, I wanted to know how he invented the new trend, denim working pants. Before I started to research about him, only thing that I knew about Levi Strauss was that he was the founder of the jean making company called Levi Strauss. Then when I started to research about him, I wondered how he invented denim working jeans and his background as a child like me.**====
