We have been surveying NHD veteran teachers and getting their answers to the following question: What are the steps to starting an NHD program in class? Here's one answer (thanks Ms. Funk!)
1. Teacher becomes very familiar with the NHD website.
2. Teacher explains to students NHD and the theme for the year. Discuss what the different parts of the theme mean.
3. Student brainstorm about possible topics.
4. After teacher has approved the topic have each student write a 3-5 page research paper with 8-10 sources.
5. After basic research talk about categories.
6. Discuss primary and secondary sources.
7. More research.
8. Use research to start putting project together.
