"Dive into in-depth discussions about four of the History Day presentation categories: Exhibits, Documentaries, Performances, and Websites."

"Workshop sessions will be led by History Day coordinators and experienced teachers. Category-specific sessions will include hands-on instruction, teaching strategies, the best use of each category for History Day purposes, and problem-solving tips for all ability levels. HD staff will also guide teachers on the best way to approach technology issues, integration of primary sources, and project organization. The website session will specifically address the new rules for that category."

From the Minnesota Historical Society website:

"Minnesota's Greatest Generation—the people who grew up during the Great Depression, came of age during WWII, and participated in the post-war boom—created a lasting legacy that has shaped all of us who have come after. This workshop will introduce teachers to the MGG website content and lessons, allow teachers to see the new MGG museum exhibit, and will give teachers the opportunity to learn from experts on the history of this era. If you teach 20th century Minnesota or United States history, this is the workshop for you!"

From the New York State Museum website:

"The New York State Museum offers an interdisciplinary workshop for teachers of elementary and junior high school social studies. The cultural and historical legacy of 17th century Dutch settlements and interactions with Native Americans will be featured. Included will be the areas of ethnography, geology, historical archaeology, and classroom applications for teaching with historical documents and objects. We will compare symbols of community, economic and social decision-making in Algonquian-speaking and New Netherland societies, adaptations to change over time, and lasting cultural influences.

Teachers will have access to collections of original source materials now held by the New York State Museum, the New York State Library, and the New York State Archives, all programs of the Office of Cultural Education, under the New York State Education Department. The New York State Learning Standards addressed in the workshop are: Social Studies #1.1, #1.3 & #1.4 (NY State History); #3.2 (Geography); #4.1 (Economics); English Language Arts #1, #3, & #4; Math #3.4; Science #4.7; and Technology #5.5.

From the National Museum of the American Indian website:

"Warriors have always held an honored place in American Indian societies. Responsible for protecting their communities, homelands, and rights, Native soldiers have served with distinction alongside (and sometimes against) the United States military in every major American conflict, including the Revolution, Civil War, and World War II. Discover why Native Americans serve in the military and explore the intersection of warrior culture in the lives of today's veterans."

From Bombingham to Selma, Montgomery to Tuskegee, Alabama's people and places left an indelible mark on the world in the 1950s and 1960s. From Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver to the Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth, Alabama citizens have been at the forefront of the crusade to improve African Americans' lot in life in the United States. Selma's citizens began a march in 1965 to protest the killing of one man. This day became known as Bloody Sunday. Now the citizens of Selma have created a people's museum so the world will not forget those tumultuous days and will remember the people's stories. Teachers in this workshop work with noted scholars, converse with living legends, participate in discussion groups, meet foot soldiers of the movement, and travel to key sites of memory dedicated to the preservation of the history of the modern Civil Rights Movement.
