History Fair Topic Ideas

History Fair topic ideas can be difficult to develop and you shouldn't rush into it.  Here are some sites to help you out.

Start here, at Chicago Metro History Fair.  It's a lot of text but has some very valuable information.  There's also a list of topics on their site here: http://www.chicagohistoryfair.org/history-fair/history-fair-a-nhd-theme/nhd-suggested-topics.html

Next, try the NHD site.  Scroll down to "Choosing a topic".

The theme is year is Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History.  While I'm not too concerned at this point about you fitting your topic into this theme, here are some examples (opens up a pdf).

Ms. Hawes also has some good info up at her blog.
And the Senn HS site has a lot of great PowerPoints, links and resources.
