Renaissance Person Websites
At the start of their high school social studies experience, students learn to conduct reliable and thorough research and to give proper credit to all of their sources.  While we were studying the Renaissance during the first quarter this year, freshmen in my classes were challenged to find a person from history who could be considered a polymath, or Renaissance Person.  Although they had done research before, the websites below were the result of some freshmen students' first endeavor into research and citation on such a scale.

National History Day Websites
Each year, more than half a million students, encouraged by thousands of teachers nationwide participate in the NHD contest. Students choose historical topics related to a theme and conduct extensive primary and secondary research through libraries, archives, museums, oral history interviews and historic sites. After analyzing and interpreting their sources and drawing conclusions about their topics’ significance in history, students present their work in original papers, websites, exhibits, performances and documentaries.

These are examples of NHD website projects by sophomore students here at Reading Memorial High School.
