Do you wish there was a way to give students a “hands on” experience in History and the Social Sciences? History Day is an excellent way to do that. It is a contest for students in two divisions, grades 6-8 and 9-12, that encourages young people to produce papers, projects, performances, and media presentations based on their own original research. There are three levels of competition: District, State and National. History Day provides a wide forum for students’ work and opportunities to interact with other junior historians. read more » |
