Instructors
work one-on-one with students, coaching them through the research and
writing process: formulating productive research questions; finding and
making discerning use of primary and secondary sources; taking accurate
notes; analyzing evidence, formulating a provisional narrative and
testing it with more research; marshaling evidence to support one's
position or narrative; puzzling together a narrative structure for one's
essay; documenting evidence with University of Chicago-style source
citations; writing and rewriting. | Winter Session 2 (10 Weekends) | JanuaryThe 2021 Winter Camp is an intensive 10
weekend online workshop in historical research and writing for secondary
students. In each 10-weekend session on Sunday, experienced instructors
will coach students, all working remotely, to compose a first draft of
an historical research paper on a topic of their choice.
Each Sunday morning begins with a virtual meeting, via Zoom, of all students and instructors, devoted to instruction on methods required for the historian's craft. Students then exercise those methods in their own research and writing. Each student has two one-on-one conferences with an instructor on Sunday and Wednesday. |

While the TCR History Camp provides first-rate personal coaching on serious History research papers, participation cannot guarantee publication. The Concord Review selects about 5% of the papers submitted. While we welcome submissions from students who have attended the TCR Summer Programs, their papers will be considered alongside other papers submitted by diligent students from many countries.
If you have any questions, please see the Summer Program FAQ or contact Steven Lee at steven.lee@tcr.org
