Engage in the process of historical research from concept to project completion! This self-paced course will guide students through the process of designing, researching, compiling, and presenting research for a history fair project. The results of this class will meet the guidelines to apply to local history fairs around the world in the National History Day competition. Students will learn about how to design a project that researches a historical issue, how to display the evidence of that research with a project board and written work, and how to present the project to the group. Information will be provided for how to enter such competitions if students decide to submit their work. As this is a flexible schedule course, this course will offer no live class meetings, allowing your student to build their own project over the 8 week time period. Instead of live meetings, your student will have access to a class recording weekly to watch to demonstrate an aspect of creating a successful history fair project, as well as additional written and visual documents to augment the recording. We will create a healthy discussion through messages to engage with the contents of the recordings, creating a workshop feel during the 8 weeks. Also each week, students will have an opportunity to submit each step of their project and to receive individualized teacher feedback. At the end of the course, the students will submit a video presentation of their project board and research interactive feedback. Over the course, students will learn: -what is a history fair competition? what are the goals? themes? project types? purpose? -how to design an experiment and narrow down a topic -how do conduct research related to the topic -Interview and document analysis skills -how to present research in a written format with citations -how to present research visually--designing a project board that is visually interesting -how to present orally--skills to capture the audience and to present findings clearly -final presentation of projects for individual feedback
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to design and conduct their own research projects, as well as how to present their research orally, visually, and in writing.
