Painless: A Survival Guide to the Dreaded History Project
This free hands-on workshop provides teachers and students with strategies for creating amazing history projects! Using the broad theme of “Leadership & Legacy” as a springboard, you’ll explore how to approach primary source research through a range of historical documents related to the antislavery movement, including letters, diaries, songs, petitions, and government records.
Activities will model research skills such as:
- collecting evidence
- analyzing information
- drawing conclusions
- assembling your findings into an historical narrative
- designing a history project as a paper, website, exhibit, documentary, or performance
By applying National History Day methodologies, the “dreaded” history project is transformed into the creation of imaginative, engaging, and meaningful history experiences.
