Students - Make it Yours
One of the great things about History Day is that YOU GET TO CHOOSE your topic and you have many choices regarding the type of entry (category) you build that best fits your personal talents and skills. It’s important to keep in mind that every category will involve a lot of writing and research. The History Day categories include:
Documentary
Exhibit
Historical Paper
Performance
Website
Leave your textbook behind!
History Day students engage in the same type of research and analysis that historians do. Make it yours! Your project will reflect your choices of what to research, how and where to find good sources, how and why the topic connects to the annual theme, and why the topic is significant. At the end of your History Day project, you will have the opportunity to present your conclusions and teach others about your topic.
