NHD Reflections

The project we did Andrew Jackson: General to President was the result. I believed that the judges didn't ask us any questions that contributed to our message they just asked questions that were about the board in general.I believed that the annotations were one my best copies in my two years on the projects and they didn't even notice it or commented. They also didn't give us any constructive feedback at all.

I believed the problems we encountered were trying to find good pictures to get our board's message across. So we had to settle for the maps of the campaigns he did during his first campaign to the Battle Of Horseshoe Bend and strategies that both the Americans and the British generals used. Also we only found pics of the of his wife Rachel Donelson and Henry Clay founder of the Whig Party.

But all in all I think that this project wasn't one my better ones according to the judges this year because I had an 80 overall. I guess me and my partner could've communicate more but no.
