History Fair Project 2017
1.
Write a thesis using the gold Thesis Proposal sheet. If you're having trouble answering the questions, you need to read more about your topic. A thesis is due May 4 and 8.
There is also a lot of excellent information in a video about the theme and HF here.
Once you can answer #1-5 on the worksheet, write a thesis. Use the Thesis Generator (for computers) to help you construct a thesis if you're having trouble.

2.
Next, you need to create an outline for your project using the History Fair outline sheet. Outlines MUST be written in your own words.
3.
Finally, make your project. Most projects are exhibits on 48" x 36" trifold boards but there are other options.
Your exhibit should look like this:
There are examples in class to view.
There is also a History Fair YouTube playlist with helpful videos.
Also, retake the sources quiz. Didn't get a good score? Take it as many times as you want to get a good score.
