Our son, Kyle, an 11th-grade AP history student at Bohemia Manor High School in Chesapeake City, is working on his 2008 National History Day project.  This year\u2019s theme is conflict and compromise in history.  For the juried project, students must do original research, place the topic in a historical perspective, and interpret their findings.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the Christmas holiday, Kyle started his documentary research, collecting primary materials such as newspaper accounts, school board minutes, and so on.  Right now, he is focused on interviewing individuals with first-hand knowledge of that time, and he did his first interview with a lady from Kent County this evening. It was fascinating to hear the digital recording of that interview as he successfully applied new research skills to acquiring data and got information that provided deeper insights and understanding.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He plans<\/span> to become a high school history teacher, and it\u2019s great to see him developing the profession’s skills with this learning opportunity.\u00a0 It provides valuable first-hand experience in working with primary sources and interpreting bodies of data.\u00a0 I will enjoy watching his effort unfold over the next few months while hearing about his work and seeing the final results<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
