GDG- History Day

[Linda J Guy]

Robert,

Now you and I both know there is a different opinion on this question 
for everyone.

I have to keep in mind these are high school students that are giving 
their opinion. I will judge the documentary fairly based on the research 
done, and how they analyze that research. I also need to see how well 
they apply this in explaining how it changed history, what they consider 
the "Triumph and Tragedy," etc.

My Professor said to..."Give positive feedback, but also constructive 
criticism.  To repeat what I said above, how can the students improve 
during the month before the state competition?  What sources should they 
consider?  What interpretations?  What additional information?"

There are very important things for a judge to consider and do during 
this regional part of the competition. Things said by a judge can either 
lead to further interest in history or close the door on the subject in 
their mind forever. I do not intend on closing one door, no matter how 
bad the documentary, if I can help it.

Linda
