History Fair 2017 TOPIC IDEAS
Chicagoland History Fair Topic list 2 (click here)
Every year National History Day frames students’ research within a historical theme. The theme is chosen for the broad application to world, national, or state history and its relevance to ancient history or to the more recent past. This year’s theme is Taking a Stand in History.
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!
Are you really, really stumped on a topic? Try this site for some ideas.
