Things you need for History Fair:

The students have been learning how to do the items and research for History Fair. The students have also received printed information about the rubric, schedule and www.NHD.org

 The students were also given this list of suggestions. I have asked for them not to do Jackie Robinson and Bob Hayes. The boys seemed to only want to do one of these choices and nothing else. One can only see and listen to a few projects on one topic. I knew 20 Bob Hayes and 40 Jackie Robinson projects would be too much. There is so much interesting history in Jacksonville and Florida, to limit ourselves to just a few topics. Some great places to look are:
www.metrojacksonville.com
Jacksonville Historical society
African- American history in Jacksonville and/or Florida
John G. Riley Museum- Tallahassee
Eatonville, Florida

 Good Luck! remember search engines are not websites and Wikipedia isn't trust worthy.

 The World History Daily Journal and the lovely Nameless and Homeless paper wall!!

The best website for explaining everything is www.NHD.org . The students are only doing exhibits with process papers.

 

Process papers answer four questions and be only 500 words long with a title page. The papers need a bibliography and an annotated bibliography.

 

 The first section should explain how you chose your topic. ( Non ex: Mrs. Hayden made me chose this topic)

 

The second section should explain how you conducted your research. ( ex: I started at the library with a book called "History Of Jacksonville".

 

The third section should explain how you selected your presentation category. (ex: The teacher only allowed us to do one category. I knew an exhibit could explain my project well by ............)

 

The fourth section should explain how your project relates to The NHD theme. ( This year the theme is rights and responsibilities)

 

 This information has been given to all students and a list of ideas.

 

 



new schedule and History Fair

 Dear Parents,
Your students have been given information about History Fair. They will be doing an exhibit only. I have encouraged the students to choose Florida/ Jacksonville History topic. The theme is "rights and responsibilities". It would be great  to choose a Black History Topic or Women's History Topic from Florida or Jacksonville. This way the students can visit actual historical sites in the area for primary sources. They can get information on how to do the project at www.NHD.org
I hope to have a timeline for the project soon!
