HISTORY REPORT REQUIREMENTS
THE HISTORY FAIR IS ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 2009. ALL ELEMENTS ARE DUE ON MONDAY, JUNE 1ST. NO EXTENSIONS.
Writing: All computer written reports must use a standard font in a standard size, 1.5 line spacing and margins no larger than 1 inch. The requirements do not include the illustrations. It is, however, good to have some illustrations mixed in with the writing. Hand written report length requirements will vary depending on your writing.
6th grade – minimum of 5 pages of writing, not including the illustrations etc.
7th grade – minimum of 7 pages of writing – not including the illustrations etc.
Include the following:
* Cover _________
* Title page __________
* Bibliography __________
You will have a handout for information on citing sources and writing a bibliography.
______________________________________________________________________
Display Board --- it does need to be freestanding, because it will be on a table.
The goal of the display board is to teach people about your topic. Therefore, it needs to include:
A title ________________
Your name ________________
A timeline that is related to your topic________________
(For example: a timeline of a person’s life, the timeline of a culture, religion, and
so on. Your audience needs to know when this took place)
Maps_________________
(where did your person, culture, religion, take place)
Illustrations ________________
(very important to bring your topic to life)
Captions________________
(explain your maps, timelines and illustrations)
3 Dimensional Project Requirements are on the back
3 DIMENSIONAL PROJECTS
The 3 dimensional project is another part of teaching people about your topic and drawing their interest to your display.
1. It may be art based, such as a sculpture, a scene, or a replica of an artifact from the period of time or place. There are many other ideas as well. Some examples include a sculpture of a person, a scene showing life in a particular place or time period, a replica of a shield, pottery or some other object that might have importance in your topic.
2. A demonstration of something: For example, someone studying an inventor might want to show how an invention works. Or, a person studying a writer might want to create books including that person’s writing and perhaps write something in the style of that writer. If you’re studying a religion, you might create a temple, statue, relics or something else important to that religion.
3. An interactive project: For example, create a game that teaches people about your topic. Think about the many kinds of displays you see in museums for ideas.

6th grade – minimum of 5 pages of writing, not including the illustrations etc.
7th grade – minimum of 7 pages of writing – not including the illustrations etc.

Display Board --- it does need to be freestanding, because it will be on a table.
The goal of the display board is to teach people about your topic. Therefore, it needs to include:
A title ________________
Your name ________________
A timeline that is related to your topic________________
(For example: a timeline of a person’s life, the timeline of a culture, religion, and
so on. Your audience needs to know when this took place)
Maps_________________
(where did your person, culture, religion, take place)
Illustrations ________________
(very important to bring your topic to life)
Captions________________
(explain your maps, timelines and illustrations)
3 Dimensional Project Requirements are on the back
3 DIMENSIONAL PROJECTS
The 3 dimensional project is another part of teaching people about your topic and drawing their interest to your display.
1. It may be art based, such as a sculpture, a scene, or a replica of an artifact from the period of time or place. There are many other ideas as well. Some examples include a sculpture of a person, a scene showing life in a particular place or time period, a replica of a shield, pottery or some other object that might have importance in your topic.
2. A demonstration of something: For example, someone studying an inventor might want to show how an invention works. Or, a person studying a writer might want to create books including that person’s writing and perhaps write something in the style of that writer. If you’re studying a religion, you might create a temple, statue, relics or something else important to that religion.
3. An interactive project: For example, create a game that teaches people about your topic. Think about the many kinds of displays you see in museums for ideas.
