PROGRAMS GOVERNOR'S AWARDS IN THE HUMANITIES HISTORY DAY IN GEORGIA NEW GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA KEY INGREDIENTS THOUGHTFUL GIVING WE THE PEOPLE History Day Home | Guidelines [offsite] | State Contest 2009 History Day in GeorgiaNational History Day in Georgia is a history education program for students in grades 6-12, sponsored by the Georgia Humanities Council. In conjunction with a national theme, students research topics and present their findings in papers, performances, exhibits, or documentaries. Students can work individually, or in all categories except historical papers, they can collaborate in teams of 2-5 students. The theme for National History Day 2009 is "The Individual in History: Actions and Legacies". National History Day gets students out of the textbook, and into primary sources such as buildings, artifacts, records, interviews, or archaeological sites. Students can research any topic they would like, but they must also remember to look at available primary sources on their topic. Students present their research at a series of contests. There are eight regional contests in Georgia. Students who place first, second or third at regionals qualify for the state contest. Those who place first or second at state are eligible to participate at nationals. The 2009 national contest takes place June 14-18th in Maryland. Contact Laura McCarty, state coordinator, for more information on National History Day in Georgia. STATE COORDINATORLaura Thomson McCarty REGIONAL COORDINATORSMr. David Dalton Dr.Kay Reeve
