National History Day 2012-2013 Theme: Turning Points in History Required for all GT/Pre-AP History Classes • What is National History Day? • Students choose historical topics related to a theme and conduct extensive primary and secondary research through libraries, archives, museums, oral history interviews and historic sites. After analyzing and interpreting their sources and drawing conclusions about their topics’ significance in history, students present their work in original papers, websites, exhibits, performances and documentaries. These products are entered into competitions in the spring at local, state and national levels where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators. • More details about due dates to come. www.nhd.org
Pre-AP/Honors Requirements • A student must maintain at least a “C” average (75) to remain in a Pre-AP/Honors course. • Students with averages below 80 at the six week point of the grading cycle will receive a warning letter and a phone call from the teacher. • Students with averages below 75 at the end of a grading cycle or semester will be removed from the Pre-AP/Honors course and placed in a regular level course.
I look forward to a successful school year! Go Longhorns!!!!!!!!!
