History Fair: Communicating Your Story

The essays are in.  While you're waiting to get the grades back it's time to start thinking about your product.  

How are you going to tell your story?

Documentary?  Model?  Tri-fold board?

We'll be discussing your options in class.  In the meantime look for examples online and read more here and here.  And here.



Remember, you've got to pick a product from among the five categories:

• Documentary
• Exhibit
• Paper (but not a paper, see examples in class)
• Performance/Acting
• Website

Please don't start the projects until they've been approved by me.

Look at examples here.

History Fair Thesis and Essay

We'll be writing a five-paragraph expository essay using our thesis.

Still having trouble with your thesis and outline?
Check out this basic site:  Thesis Generator

 





Use the outline in class or this webtool:

http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/essaymap/

 

 This will be handed out in class, but here's a great guideline:  http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/685/02/

Well use the five-paragraph approach. The method consists of:

1. an introductory paragraph that states the thesis
2. three evidentiary body paragraphs that support the thesis
3. a conclusion that restates the thesis

Use edmodo to submit a digital copy but you'll also need to print a copy for class.
