Ninth Graders Bring Their Best to National History Day
Ninth Graders Bring Their Best to National History Day
Months of work on National History Day projects culminated in an evening of education, fun and showmanship during Sage Hill’s annual Ninth Grade History Night on February 11. As part of the required Patterns of Civilization class, freshmen plan, research and produce a history project inspired by the National History Day themes of exploration, encounter and exchange.
“It was an enriching experience,” said Sally Sefami, Interim Dean of Faculty and Spanish teacher. “I watched a video on Thor Heyerdahl’s voyage of the Kon-Tiki, listened to students demonstrate their knowledge of subjects from the relationship of faith and science, the development of penicillin to the introduction of KFC in China. Our freshman class was poised and engaged,” she added.
Here are the winners of this year’s event:
Exhibits
1st Ryan Langevin - Looking to the Stars: The Relationships of Faith and Science
2nd Naya Gomez - How the 1700s and 1800s shaped Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
3rd Daniel Fishman - Ibn Khaldun: Modern Sociologist and Revolutionary Historian
4th Chenghao Meng - It's Finger-Lickin' Good
5th Halah Biviji - Propaganda during the Rwandan Genocide
