History Day lends itself to great lessons



Our Social Studies department is going crazy getting students ready for History Day.


  • One of the new formats this year is creating a web page. Ivar Nelson from the Technology Dept. has been great setting up administrative access to several of our students to create their own webpages. It was fun going into Urban Planet and refreshing my skills.

  • Many students were in awe at MNLINK and the ability to locate materials in print from all over the state. The LCD projector assisted in showing the group a key word and how easily they can get their hands on information. This helped push the fact that they all need a public library card. The databases are a boon to History Day, as well.
