Sharing your ideas in a presentation is powerful way to showcase your research
Historians don't just write- they share their ideas in lectures, at conferences, and in talks. This is a powerful way to connect with your classmates and share what you have learned (and learn from them, as well!)
At some stage of the research process, you are likely to be asked to present your research in your social studies course- this takes different forms depending on your course and teacher. Pay attention to specific assignment requirements, and keep in mind the tips below.
