JOPLIN, MO (SNS) - The Missouri Southern Social Science Department hosted Missouri Region 6 History Day on Friday, March 2, 2007. Students in grades 6-8 competed in the Junior Division. Grades 9-12 formed the Senior Division.

 

Winners from our district contest, one of nine in Missouri, will have the opportunity to compete in Missouri State History Day on April 14 at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Winners from the state competition may go on to the National History Day contest in June at College Park, Maryland.

 

Students could explore any facet of World, American, or local history pertaining to the theme, so long as their entries include evidence of primary and secondary research and indicate the topic's significance in history.

 

Entries took the form of a research paper, an exhibit (a display similar to a museum exhibit), a performance, or a documentary presented on slides, videotape, or computer program.

 

History Day entries came from area schools. Thanks to the dedication of area teachers, our district has established a statewide and even national reputation for the quality of its entries.
