NOTE TO TEACHERS AND STUDENTS:
Welcome to the National History Day program and contest in Alameda County! Students all over the U.S. each year research a topic in history and relate it to the annual theme. There are a wide range of topics available and many different methods for publishing research. Students can write a historical paper, produce an exhibit, create a documentary, publish a website, or act out a performance. And now, in 2022, you can create a podcast. If you are wondering why you should help your students participate in history day, watch this 3-minute video: https://youtu.be/683GBqllgk8
After completing a project, students have another choice: whether to participate or to compete. Winners from schools may move on to the county contest; winners at county may move on to National History Day - California; the state, and winners at state may move onto National History Day. Ultimately, the project is about learning. Whether you are a history or language arts or English teacher, doing some type of history day project teaches important research skills aligned to the Common Core and the new California State History Social Science Framework, and is the ultimate hands-on, inquiry based, project learning experience for students. Please use and modify the lessons below as needed.
