ABOUT HISTORY DAY

The Frederick A.O. Schwarz Children's Center invites your students to participate in New York City History Day on Sunday, March 8, 2015. New York City History Day is an education program that engages students in grades 6-12 in the discovery and interpretation of historical topics. By participating in History Day, students can research topics related to the annual theme and express themselves creatively through various formats such as exhibit boards, documentaries, websites, papers, and performances. This year marks the event's 25th anniversary and is dedicated to the themes of Leadership and Legacy.

The History Day methodology supports teachers and schools as they work towards aligning curriculum and instructional priorities with Common Core Standards demonstrated through College and Career Ready student performance tasks.
