The Clinton County Historical Association and Fort Ticonderoga team up to present an online workshop for teachers
The Clinton County Historical Association is partnering with Fort Ticonderoga to offer a virtual “National History Day: Workshop for Teachers,” from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, November 12th. The free program is made possible in part by a grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership.
National History Day encourages students in grades 6-12 to explore local, state, national and world history. After selecting a historical topic that relates to an annual theme, students conduct research by using libraries, archives, museums, and oral history interviews.
This year’s theme is Communications in History: A Key to Understanding. Students analyze and interpret their findings, draw conclusions about their topics’ significance in history, and create final projects that present their work. These projects can then be entered into a series of competitions, from the local to national level, where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators.
Teachers wishing to participate should email Rich Strum at Fort Ticonderoga at rstrum@fort-ticonderoga.org and include their name, along with the grade level and school where they teach.
