National History Day in Georgia
National History Day pulls students out of the textbook to learn about history firsthand. Competitions occur at the regional, state, and national levels.
Overview
The Georgia Humanities Council coordinates this program for the state. Students in grades 6-12 research topics in world, American, Georgia or local history in relation to an annual theme. They work as individuals or groups and develop entries of one of the following types:
- Documentaries
- Exhibits
- Performances
- Web sites
- Papers (individual only)
We encourage you to involve your middle or high school students in this amazing program. The National History Day theme for 2011-2012 is “Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History".
Additional information about the theme, as well as the full rule book can be downloaded for free from http://www.nhd.org.
