Decide where you are going to put papers you copy or notes you take. Make sure you always write down the source of information next to your notes so that you can find the source again later and use it in your bibliography. Step 2: Selecting a Topic Select a topic related to the annual theme. Brainstorming ideas or looking through the history textbook are great ways to begin thinking about potential topics. Use the topic suggestions and read the theme book at  HYPERLINK "http://www.nhd.org/" \o "http://www.nhd.org/" www.nhd.org. Google general terms to find more ideas. Step 3: Background Reading for Historical Context No topic exists in a vacuum. Students need to understand the context in which an issue took place in order to understand why it took place. Read widely about the topic - use a variety of sources from different points of view. Look at several different history books about the time period in which the topic takes place. Historical context can be seen as SPRITE - the social, political, religious, intellectual, technological, and economic information that helped to set the stage for your topic. You project might not include all of the SPRITE elements, but it will certainly at the very least address the social and political background. Step 4: Narrowing Your Topic Selecting a National History Day topic is a process of gradually narrowing the area of history (period or event) that interests the students. For example, if the student is interested in Native Americans and the theme is Rights and Responsibilities in History, a natural topic would be treaty rights. After reading several texts and journals about Native Americans and treaties, the process might look something like this: Theme: Rights in History Interest: Native Americans Topic: Treaty Rights Issue: 1788 Fort Schuyler Treaty Step 5: Gathering and Recording Information To be responsible researchers, students must credit sources from which they gathered information. To begin the process, however, it is important for the student to collect the critical information from each source as they read: the author's name, title, publisher, and date of publication, and page number for quotes. Citations/bibliographies To record the information , you will use the MLA citation format. For help with MLA:  HYPERLINK "http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citmla.htm" \o "http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citmla.htm" http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citmla.htm Annotated bibliography An annotated bibliography is required for all categories. The annotations for each source must explain how the source was used and how it helped the student understand the topic. The student should also use the annotation to explain why the source was categorized as primary or secondary. Historians do sometimes disagree and there's not always one right answer, so students should use the annotation to explain why they classified their sources as they did. Students should list only those sources used to develop their entry. An annotation normally should be about 1-3 sentences. Source (example) Bates, Daisy. The Long Shadow of Little Rock. 1st ed. New York: David McKay Co. Inc., 1962. Annotation (example) Daisy Bates was the president of the Arkansas NAACP and the one who met and listened to the students each day. This first-hand account was very important to my paper because it made me more aware of the feelings of the people involved. Step 6: Analyzing and Interpreting Sources and the Topic's Significance in History Historians do more than describe events. They analyze and interpret information gathered from their sources to draw conclusions about a topic's significance in history. Students should do the same. Therefore, students should ask questions of their topic and their research, considering the following: Elements of change and continuity Historical context: economic, political, social and cultural atmosphere of the time period Encourage students to interrogate their sources: Who created the source? When was the source created? What was the intent or purpose of the source? Step 7: Developing a thesis NHD projects should do more than just tell a story. Every exhibit, performance, documentary, paper and web site should make a point about its topic. To do this, you must develop your own argument of the historical impact of the person, event, pattern or idea you are studying. The point you make is called a thesis statement. A thesis statement is not the same as a topic. Your thesis statement explains what you believe to be the impact and significance of your topic in history. The thesis statement is usually one sentence that presents an argument about the topic. The body of the paper or website, the script of the performance or documentary, the headings and captions in an exhibit then are used to support the thesis using evidence from the research. A good thesis statement: Addresses a narrow topic Explains what the researcher believes to be the historical significance of the topic Connects the topic to the National History Day theme For example…Topic: Battle of Gettysburg Thesis Statement: The battle of Gettysburg was a major turning point of the Civil War. It turned the tide of the war from the South to the North, pushing back Lee's army that would never fight again on Northern soil and bringing confidence to the Union army. Step 8: Finalizing an NHD research project When research is completed and ready to present to an audience, ask students to review whether their work includes: Analysis and interpretation Significance and impact In depth research Historical accuracy Historical context Adherence to the theme "#$Uh i j „ Z [ • – Ё Ђ Ћ И Ь Э щжРЊ—‡tЊ—`Q`@`—0—‡hНQB*CJaJmH phsH h@Мh@М0JCJaJmH sH h@Мh@МB*CJaJph&jh@Мh@МB*CJUaJph%h@МhvЮB*CJaJmH phsH h@МB*CJaJmH phsH %h@Мh@МB*CJaJmH phsH +h@Мh@М5B*CJ\aJmH phsH +hvЮhvЮ5B*CJ\aJmH phsH %h@М5B*CJ\aJmH phsH +hvЮh@М5B*CJ\aJmH phsH #$Ui j „ Э Ю  €  DЎЏл3F^Єg”Зњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњёёёњњёё„ ^„ gd@Мgd@Ма§Э Ю ~  €  z ­ЎЏл1ˆ‰  CDF\ЄЊУсgЇЈЉХzьжУГьжУУГьжУжУ‰z‰i‰УжУжУУжУГьжУГьжУ h@Мh@М0JCJaJmH sH h@Мh@МB*CJaJph&jh@Мh@МB*CJUaJph+h@Мh@М6B*CJ]aJmH phsH h@МB*CJaJmH phsH %h@Мh@МB*CJaJmH phsH +h@Мh@М5B*CJ\aJmH phsH %h@МhvЮB*CJaJmH phsH %C\zЈЉХІМеяEzІЇвFc|ЄИЯањёёёёњњњњёёёњњњњёёёёёёя„ ^„ gd@Мgd@МzЃЕЅІЇвЯацацаНЇ‘~sh@Мh@МCJaJ%h@Мh@МB*CJaJmH phsH +h@Мh@М5B*CJ\aJmH phsH +h@МhvЮ6B*CJ]aJmH phsH %h@М6B*CJ]aJmH phsH +h@Мh@М6B*CJ]aJmH phsH 1h@Мh@М56B*CJ\]aJmH phsH 21h:p@МАа/ Ар=!А "А # $ %ААаАа а†œ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRiѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (kєџС(No List 8^@ђ8 @М Normal (Web)_H 4U@ђџ4 @М Hyperlink >*phџа ,џџџџ#$Uij„ЭЮ€DЎЏл 3 F ^ Є  g”ЗC\zЈЉХІМеяEzІЇвFc|ЄИЯв˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€Э zаааZ•Ёˆ C аXџŒXџŒ№8№@ёџџџ€€€ї№’№№0№( № №№B №S №ПЫџ ?№џџ eЭ,l fЭŒЁ gЭЌ“$hЭь“$iЭЄ` jЭф` kЭl $lЭЌ $mЭДУ$nЭєУ$oЭМФ$™™žж ж ы ы —УУв  ІІс с ѓ ѓ “ЁЭЭв = *€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceType€= *€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceName€9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€State€8*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€City€9 *€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€ єџ    ГИвЄЬA N Г Д У т ч щ % & в33333ЋИЏлЉХІЇИЯвГИвzbr€fў|zbrхPНQ@МvЮвџ@€ИИзе••ИИа@џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџG‡z €џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& ‡z €џArial"ёˆ№аhTr'Tr'gi )gi )!№  ДД24ХХ2ƒ№ќ§KX)№џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ@М2џџ"Eight Steps of Historical Research Susan YoungCHatcherўџр…ŸђљOhЋ‘+'Гй0˜Фаф№ќ  , L X dpx€ˆф$Eight Steps of Historical Research Susan YoungNormal CHatcher2Microsoft Office Word@Œ†G@xи:љШЮ@xи:љШЮgiўџеЭеœ.“—+,љЎDеЭеœ.“—+,љЎT hp€ˆ˜  ЈАИ Р яфmvusd) ХЋ #Eight Steps of Historical Research TitleL 8@ _PID_HLINKSфA f$8http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citmla.htmЂd)http://www.nhd.org/Ђ ўџџџўџџџ !"#$%&'()ўџџџ+,-./01ўџџџ3456789ўџџџ§џџџ<ўџџџўџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџRoot Entryџџџџџџџџ РFР<љШЮ>€Data џџџџџџџџџџџџ1TableџџџџWordDocumentџџџџ4,SummaryInformation(џџџџџџџџџџџџ*DocumentSummaryInformation8џџџџџџџџ2CompObjџџџџџџџџџџџџqџџџџџџџџџџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџ џџџџ РFMicrosoft Office Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8є9Вq
