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.

Your exhibit should look like this:

There are examples in class to view.

There is also a History Fair YouTube playlist with helpful videos.
