1. History Day Orientation Meeting
Clovis West High School

2. Theme: Exploration, Encounter, Exchange
Exploration likely conjures up visions of travelers setting out on a journey to discover new lands. Exploration also can be examined in the field of science. Exploration does not need to be literal—think of exploration as a new idea, concept, or theory that is tested. This idea can come from the fields of politics, economics, or military science.
Encounter Exploration, of course, almost always leads to encounters—with different peoples, unfamiliar environments, and new ideas. Encounters are often unexpected and unpredictable, and they reveal much about those involved.
Exchange It is impossible to make a journey of exploration, encounter new ideas, and not have some ideas exchanged between the groups of people.
