The Oneonta Star recently ran this cover story about a seventeen year old student who has produced a documentary about her hometown of Cooperstown. It's on sale at Amazon.com.
The student was quoted as saying, "I started when I was in seventh grade, when I made a video for New York History Day,'' she said. "I discovered that I really like to make documentaries, and I've been making them longer and more complete.''
Talk about planting and cultivating a seed.
If we are looking to ever participate in History Day, we need to marry it to a renewed sense of expectation for our students - our expectations might be the only variable keeping more of our students from exploring their potential.
