Participating in National History Day is one of the St. Luke 8th grade required signature projects. National History Day is an inter-disciplinary research project for students in grades 6-12. History Day teaches students to:
Students choose a topic that relates to an annual theme and relates to Georgia in some way, research that topic, and develop their research into one of five presentation categories: research paper, exhibit, documentary, performance, or website. Students may then enter their projects into History Day competitions at school, regional, state and national levels.
The 2016 theme is Exploration, Encounter, Exchange in History
Students begin work on NHD in August and continue until early March.
- Conduct in-depth research
- Use primary and secondary sources
- Read a variety of texts
- Analyze and synthesize information
- present historical content

The NHD website is an excellent resource for parents and students. I urge you to spend some time exploring it at www.nationalhistoryday.org.
