  1. National history day Getting Started on the Project

  2. Visuals • Collect pictures, graphics, and artifacts to display with your project • The project should not be all text—you should have visuals to show the judges and anyone else looking at your project • Make sure to get source info—you have to cite images too!

  3. Beginning Your Project • Create an interesting title for your project • Plan the layout/organization of your project • Make sure it is easy for viewers to read and has a good color scheme • THREE IMPORTANT SECTIONS TO INCLUDE • 1. Background/Historical Context • 2. Connection to Theme • 3. Impact on the Future

  4. Background/Historical Context • Background and basic information • What lead up to your event? • What is the background story to your individual? • Be sure to include all appropriate information • Use quote and pictures to show the background

  5. Connection to Theme • Rights and Responsibilities in History • How does your topic fit the theme? • How did your person/event/movement change or influence rights and responsibilities in society? • COME UP WITH YOUR OWN EXPLANATION based on research • Should be in your own words • It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does have to be yours • Use quotes and pictures to back up your point

  6. Impact on the Future • Try to show how your person/event/movement impacted the future • Use quotes and pictures to back up your point

  7. Quotes and Pictures • Quotes should have quotation marks around them • WEBSITES, DOCUMENTARIES, or PERFORMANCES  the bibliography should make clear where you got information • PAPERS  see me for guidance • ON EXHIBITS under each quote or picture used, you need to add a citation • Citation = author or title of article, website or source of image • Its as simple as adding the website where the picture is from or the author of the quote • If you used a quote from a website and there is no author, put down the shortened URL

  8. Written Materials • ONE set for each group/project • Websites = written materials posted to website • Annotated Bibliography • Separated between primary and secondary sources • Use the “tag” function on easybib • Process Paper • See the NHD rule book (just four paragraphs) • Cover Page • See the NHD rule book for formatting

  9. Review Rules • Go to http://www.nhd.org/CreatingEntry.htmand review the rule book to make sure your project does not break any rules or requirements • For example, there are WORD LIMITS to websites and exhibits. However, they only apply to your own words, not to quotes that you use.

  10. Links for help with exhibits and other projects • http://www.tennesseehistory.org/SampleHistoryDayProjects.htm • http://www.uaf.edu/museum/education/resources/nhd/ • http://www.nhd.org/StudentProjectExamples.htm
