The Theme for 2018 is "Conflict and Compromise in History"
All IA social studies students are encouraged to participate in the National History Day project, to replace some activities scheduled in the Edgenuity 'Assignment Calendar'.
For Social Studies beginning 2013-14, we transitioned to participation in National History Day, instead of competing in the traditional Social Studies Fair. Here is some information for you to consider: http://schoolwires.henry.k12.ga.us/Page/48655
The NHD project allows students to present their material in a variety of ways, meeting the needs of multiple intelligences, rather than just the traditional "tri-board and report" method. Student project examples.
The NHD project is not just about creating a 'product', but is more about the gathering and processing of new information, through a chosen topic of interest, based on the yearly theme. Students should 'feel' the topic, and immerse themselves in the research process, pursuing new leads and seeking new perspectives, much like an investigation.
Much of the work and pacing will be done utilizing Google Classroom.

2017 Henry County NHD competition:
What is the National History Day Contest, you ask? Each year more than half a million students just like you participate. You will choose a historical topic related to the annual theme, and then conduct primary and secondary research. You will look through libraries, archives and museums, conduct oral history interviews, and visit historic sites. After you have analyzed and interpreted your sources, and have drawn a conclusion about the significance of your topic, you will then be able to present your work in one of five ways: as a paper, an exhibit, a performance, a documentary, or a web site.In the early Spring, you may enter your work into local NHD contests where it will be judged by professional educators and historians. If your work is chosen as one of the best, you will move on to your state's NHD contest. As a winner at your state NHD contest, you will be eligible to attend the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest at the University of Maryland at College Park in June. This is where the best National History Day projects from across the United States, American Samoa, Guam, International Schools and Department of Defense Schools in Europe all meet and compete.
