Reflection Blog: National History Day
My group and I researched on Archbishop Felixberto Camacho Flores for the National History Day competition website category. We represented our school, so as other groups, for middle school division. Making the website was difficult. We had to put in all the information and pictures that we took and we had to rearranged and organize everything in the website. We place 3rd in the school judging. Then we won 1st place for the final judging island wide. So my group and I get to go to Maryland for the national competition! The experience was fun and I learned a lot on how one individual in Guam is really important to their legacy. Researching on Archbishop Flores was a little bit difficult, but the challenge was rewarding. We took several field trips to libraries which by the way was fun. Our group learned a lot about Archbishop Flores his life, on what he does as an Archbishop, his other jobs, and his legacy.
What me and my group would done different was to be more specific on our research and put in more effort too. We would also get more interviews like a priest who at least new about Archbishop Flores. Even get an interview with Guam’s current Governor, Felix Camacho. He is the nephew of your individual. I wish there wasn’t a limit to the words we could put on our website. We found a lot about him and I also wanted to put in a page about Archbishop Flores inviting the Pope John Paul II’s to visit Guam.
Well if we decided to do another website and do on a different person it would be George Washington. We would choose him because he has done a lot for the United States of America. He won several battles during the war between British for independence. Learning about his achievements trough Social Studies made me want to learn more about and tell his story with a younger person’s point of view. George Washington is a good individual and has a big legacy.
