  12. What is National History Day? National History Day is an exciting, research-supported, history-based learning experience for students. They learn about issues, ideas, people, and events in history, and also apply what they have learned through creative and original productions. Students stretch far beyond simply memorizing names and dates and reporting on historical events. Instead, National History Day students develop invaluable research and analytical skills. They become historians and topic experts, drawing their own conclusions about the significance of their topic in history.

  13. How does it Work? • Students select a topic that connects to the annual theme. • After researching and narrowing the topic, students develop a thesis statement. • Students select an entry category that reflects their research, talents and interests. • Students create a project, which includes the thesis statement, lots of evidence to support a logical argument, and a conclusion indicating historical significance. • The “heart” of the project is the Annotated Bibliography.

  14. Levels of Competition • Local, School, and District Competitions (optional) • Orange County Competition: March 8, 2014 • National History Day-California State Finals, Riverside, CA: April 25-27, 2014 • National History Day, University of Maryland: June 15-19, 2014
