History Day is an annual competition where a person or team presents a chosen history topic to a team of judges.
Theme:
The theme for 2022 is: Debate & Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, Consequences.
Information:
We will have the preliminary competition in the first week of November. Everyone will participate. The top team from all the classes will move on to History Day LA, where they will represent Aspire Pacific Academy.
You will have time to work on your poster board in class and I will be there to help you. The college counselors and one member of the admin team will serve as judges in the competition.
Now, think and write…
