Frontiers in History

The 8th grade will be participating in the National History Day competition in the Spring, and it is time to get started! This year’s theme is “Frontiers in History: People, Places, Ideas.” As the NHD website tells us, there are frontiers of all kinds throughout history, from crossing the wilderness of space to exploring the boundaries of society. The 8th graders are brainstorming what subjects they want to explore, and how they want to present their projects. NHD entries can take the form of an exhibit, a documentary, a website, a paper, or a performance, and can be entered individually or as a group. With the whole world of history open to us, we have all kinds of material to explore!
