History Fair 2016: Explore History Fair, the Theme, and Choose a Topic

Topic list 1 (click here)
Topic list 2 (click here)

Exploration, Encounter, Exchange in History is the theme this year.  Look over the handouts in class and on the Chicago History Fair link below for topic ideas.  Read about them briefly and try to pick two or three.  There is also a lot of excellent information at the Minnesota HF site.

We will be working on History Fair in class and at home.  For now History Fair is individual.  When we start projects you may work with one other person in your block by approval. 

The first thing you need to do is come up with a topic. 

Looking forward to another great year of History Fair!
