History Day 2020
National History Day is an inter-disciplinary research project for students in grades 6-12. History Day teaches students to:
Conduct in-depth research
Use primary and secondary sources
Read a variety of texts
Analyze and synthesize information
Write and present historical content
Students choose a topic that relates to an annual theme, research that topic, and present their research in one of five presentation categories: Research Paper, Exhibit, Documentary, Performance, or Website. Students may then enter their projects into History Day competitions at school, regional, state, and national levels.Â
