Hurray for History!

As the year begins, the sixth grade gifted students are exploring the important days of history.  National History Day is drawing near and we are just getting started.  To contribute to this day we will be going to competition to represent Seneca Intermediate School.  Eli and Matthew will be contributing their pesentation about John F. Kennedy's assassination. Jacob and Jase will be doing the  9-11 Flight 77.   Taylor will be creating a presentation of the invention of basketball and James Naismith.  Gracie is doing the 19th amendment for the women's right to vote. The topic of National History Day is "A Turning Point in History." As we begin, we realize the complications and difficulties we will be facing. The contest rule book consists of 27 full length pages covering 24 different topics. We will have the option of writing a paper, creating an exhibit, acting out a dramatic portrayal, creating a powerpoint, or costructing a website.  National History Day will take place sometime during the spring. Everyone is really looking forward to this event, but we are waitng to see if we will be ready when the time comes.  If not, we will present a school "Mock History Day," so time is not wasted. Good luck to the sixth grade gifted students and may the odds be ever in your favor.
