Innovation in History

National History Day invites students to research topics related to the theme   Innovation in History  during the 2009-2010 school year. The theme is broad enough in scope to encourage investigation of topics ranging from local to world history. To fully comprehend the historical importance of their topics, students must ask questions of time and place, cause and effect, change over time, as well as impact and significance. They must consider not only when events happened, but also why they happened, what impact they had on broader history, and what factors contributed to their development. A presentation of a History Day topic, in short, should not be limited to description, but should draw conclusions about how that topic influenced individuals, communities, nations, the world.
