National History Day Kick-Off

Description

Jump-start your student's participation in National History Day with this virtual learning experience.

Matt Reeves - Special Collections Librarian, history PhD, and experienced National History Day Judge - will join your class and lead students through a lesson plan that introduces National History Day and explores this year's prompt.

By the end of the experience, students will understand the purpose of National History Day research projects, be able to explain the prompt, and have brainstormed three research topics that they could use as a foundation for a National History Day project.

This experience combines lectures and small group activities. Library staff have access to a Zoom account to facilitate screen sharing and breakout groups, but are also open to other platforms that schools may provide.
