Please come join us for this fun event as we will travel around the 7 Continents and view History together. Each student will be able to experience games, activities and food of each continent. All students can dress-up like their favorite historian, from a time period,
or in a way that will reflect their history project.
If you would like to help or present a country please let Tina Levette know
by contacting her at tinalevette@yahoo.com

KEY INFO
Þ For every history project, you need to have a very organized and neat display board to teach your work to your audience. In some cases people use a standard, three-panel display board that unfolds to show your information. ( see picture above)
Þ ORGANIZE your information like news paper so that your audience can quickly follow the thread of your project by reading from top to bottom, then left to right. Include each step of your project: topics, dates, facts that must be displayed correctly and in chronological order.
Þ FONT SIZE should be at least a size 16 for the text so that it is easy to read from a few feet away. It’s OK to use slightly smaller fonts for captions on pictures and tables.
Þ TITLE should be large enough to read from across the room. Make sure that it accurately describes your work and grab people’s attention.
Þ PICTURES are always a great way to explain your information. Images speak and explain more than writing does. But, remember do not put text in or on the images because it can and is very difficult to read.
Þ A 200 word report in a cover is on the table. ( check with teacher if more)
Þ If a County is chosen, Student must have food, Music, and dress like the people of the county.
JUDGING
Þ The students will be judged on:
ü Presentation (neatness and spacing )
ü Clarity of information
ü Creativity ( use of materials )
ü Use of color
ü Overall design and format
ü Report
ü Display on table and students dress

Why do we do Science and History Fairs?
This is a great way for students to learn about Science and History. Participants learn how to identify problems and design unique, organized and logical strategies to solving the questions. The research process teaches students how history, scientists and engineers contribute to the advancement of history, science and engineering. When we have student ready for competition, we can start to compete.
