NHD Advice for Christmas Break

As you continue to work on your project it is my hope that you will see how this year’s theme helps you to understand how history happens and how it impacts the world we live in today. Congratulations, you have overcome one of the biggest obstacles in completing your NHD project, gathering research notes.

Some of you need to continue to research your topic following the suggestions noted in your Categories for Note Taking evaluation sheet. If you follow my instructions and the suggestions below I am confident you will reach a successful conclusion and produce a project worthy of all the time and effort you have put into it.

The next three weeks are crucial. Here is what you should focus on.
