Contests
If you’re looking for a fresh way to present last month’s inauguration of Barack Obama to social studies students, ABC-CLIO is sponsoring a contest for secondary school kids to write about history in the making. Called Think Historically, the contest invites teams of middle- and high-school students to submit a presentation (slide show, online essay, podcast or animation) about the ten people, events or locations that shaped history the most. The good news is that participants will get three months free access to ABC-CLIO’s 8 online databases to work with and $60,000 in cash and prizes are at stake, but the bad news is that the deadline for submissions is March 30.
