What is History Day? History Day is a statewide program sponsored by Constitutional Rights Foundation in conjunction with National History Day. It is open to students from grades 4 through 12. History Day is an exciting enrichment program that furthers students understanding of historical issues, ideas, people and events. It is an academic adventure that provides teachers with an innovative teaching tool that fosters students' enthusiasm for learning. Students will develop invaluable research and analytical skills as they progress through their projects and defining the significance of their topics. This event will quickly become a tradition for the students, teachers, schools and parents.
Students Can Compete in the Following Six Categories:
Historical paper, exhibit, performance, documentary, historical web site, or 4/5th grade poster.
What happens to the participants that win? The Monterey County History Day program is part of a statewide competition that involves over 35,000 students each year. The winning projects of the Monterey County Competition will compete at the California State Finals in Sacramento on April 30th- May 3rd. The winners of the state competition will represent California at the National Competition in Maryland on June 14th-18th.
Volunteering: Participating students and teachers spend months brainstorming, researching, writing, editing, designing, and preparing for the History Day Competition. But it cannot be a successful event without volunteers. Judging the History Day Competition is a great way to get involved in this event and provide students feedback on the project they have spent so much time and energy creating. The Lyceum offers judge orientations in instructed by experienced judges to provide all the information you will need to continue the excellence of this tradition. This year, the Judge Orientation will be held on February 24th, 2009 at The Los Arboles Middle School Library, and February 26th, 2009 at the Monterey County Office of Education in Salinas. NOTE: Judges are required to attend one of these orientations.
