DESCRIPTION:
History Day is a competition that begins in May. It was created in 1974 "to counter the devaluation of history as a field of study." Students present their research, analysis, and conclusions in one of five formats: a paper, an exhibit, a performance, a documentary, or a website. The contest is open to students in junior high and high school. Each year a theme is released, and students and teachers then choose a topic within that theme. Approximately 500,000 students enter annually, and around 2,500 make it to the finals. About 100 participants receive awards ranging from $500 to $2000 in winning categories.
Most Americans are unaware that we do not study history in the United States in K-12. We learn social studies. Social studies focus on when, who, and what the event's impact on society, the contributions of individuals, and stories. History includes the why and context of the period it occurred. It requires critical thinking, analysis, and the ability to look at events, trends, and the larger picture dispassionately and absent from current political pressures or trends. Whereas social studies are more about sociology and culture, history is closer to science in its analytical approach to information.
