The Poster (formerly 2-D Display) is a scaled-down version of the exhibit category. It provides the opportunity for 4th and 5th grade students to get an introduction to History Day. Students can work individually or in groups of 2-5 people.

 

On your poster you can use quotations and your own words to share the surrounding background that relates to your topic. You should also develop a thesis statement and include evidence that supports it. Your project should show the significance of your topic in history. You can also use images of all kinds (e.g., photos, maps, art images, etc.) and meaningful captions and labels to tell your story and guide the viewer through your display.

 

Please note this category is available only to participants in the Elementary Division (4th & 5th grade students). The poster is a California-only category and is not included at the National History Day contest.
