American History - Jonas - C Public Feed
NHD
I chose my topic by first looking through the suggested topics that were posted to my history classes online webpage. I saw that each category had a topic of interest and I’m interested in sports. This led me to topic of Ben Chapman and the Philadelphia Phillies. I’m from Philadelphia, PA and an avid sports fan so, this topic was high on my list. I saw “42” which is a movie about Jackie Robinson and in that movie Chapman is mentioned in the movie. Chapman is not portrayed as the good guy in the movie but he was a prominent character in the story of Jackie Robinson.

Throughout the first semester, we were tasked to participate in National History Day. To participate, we had to create a project that consisted of two parts, a paper and then a creative piece of either a video or website. The theme of this year's NHD was "Leadership and Legacy." I chose Steve Jobs as my topic.
