Vandenberg-Daves, Jodi. Making History: A Guide to
Historical Research Through the National History Day Program. Santa Barbara,
Calif: ABC-CLIO, 2006.
This book is a guide to historical research, informed by historical
scholarship and methods, but designed for use by teachers and students of
high school and middle school. It represents a collaborative effort among
nine teachers in the D.C. Everest School System in Wisconsin and the
historian who served as the project’s Editor and Co-Author, Jodi Vandenberg-Daves.
Through this book, teachers and students learn skills and processes for
advanced historical research and analysis, directed towards participation in
the National History Day program, the nation’s oldest historical research
contest for students in grades six through twelve.
