For our Hawaiian history class, we were assigned a Hawaiian heros unit. In this unit we were able to choose from a list of Hawaiian heros and I chose Queen Emma. We got to know our heroes very well and in this assignment we had to argue that our Hawaiian hero made a great impact on Hawaiian history and culture.
I really liked learning about Hawaiian history, which is mainly what sparked the idea to enter this into my portfolio. As well, this essay summarizes what exactly Queen Emma did for Hawaii and I am very proud of it.
I'd say this essay shows the civic literacy 21st century skill, my hero was a queen so I learned about the monarchy. We also had to understand the impacts of our hero on Hawaii which in my case was mainly through her government.
I had never had to learn about Hawaiian history, let alone Queen Emma, so I learned a lot in this unit. I also enjoyed writing this essay and reading all the other essays about my classmates' heroes as well.
Looking back if I could improve this project I would love to learn even more about Queen Emma and her life before her reign.
