Resources to help you this year:

National History Day

This is the website for official information regarding the National History Day project you will be working on this year.  Here is this year's theme from the website: The 2019-2020 theme is Breaking Barriers in History

Minnesota National Historical Society
http://education.mnhs.org/historyday/

This website is another resource to help you with your National History Day project.  They have a lot of success in winning, so you may want to take a look.

Library of Congress
"News, events, new content & more from the National Library of Congress & specific subject areas - from legislature to poetry, from music to science, from cataloging to copyright."-weareteachers.com

National Archives


This will be a useful site for working with sources for the NHD project.

Quizlet

This is a helpful tool to create your own vocabulary reviews in order to help you remember the content that has been learned in class.  Not only is it great to learn the vocabulary, but it is also important to know how to apply our terms to real world examples.

Crash Course

A set of videos on different topics providing review and visuals (sometimes quite funny) to help further your understanding of what is being taught in class.

World Geography Games

A site you can use to test your skills on the geography you learn throughout the year.
