When I chose my topic I was working on my NHD Intro, as I got to the last question it said, “My ultimate choice might be…” and I thought of who I should choose. I thought about last year when at first I aimed to do something technology related, but later didn’t. Then I remembered the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. I was always fascinated when I heard about him but I really didn’t know much I thought I could learn more about him and how he took a stand.
My teacher, Mrs. Thomas announced to us that October will be our research month for National History Day. She explained to us we would have to do 6 sources a week for the month of October. If we had class that week only two times that meant we had to do 3 sources for homework, if we had class 3 times that week that meant 2 sources for homework. We had a document where we cited and took notes on our research.
One day for homework we had to sign up for NHD, so we put our names, our partner’s name if we had one, our topic and our category. I looked into all the categories and chose a website because last year we were only able to do a 2-D board so I wanted to do it a little different this time. When I created my website I had to use weebly, because that is how we were taught to create websites at school. It was very simple to put the website together.
The topic I chose relates to taking a stand because Steve Jobs took a stand to change the way technology worked. While many other people in the world were afraid to see what would happen if new technology was created Steve wasn’t. He took a stand to show other’s to not be afraid to change history and the way the world looks at certain things.
