Kayley's Tips

Reminders for those going on to the State History Fair:

Process paper:

  • Use all 500 words-- you do not need to put word count

  • Do not label the topics of the process paper

  • Save words for elaboration in the final paragraph

  • Center title in upper 3/4 of page

  • Bottom should have centered:

Name

Junior Division

Category

Bibliography:

  • 1 inch margins (all around)

  • Top of first page should read: Annotated Bibliography

  • To format click on paragraph-- the actual source should be (under special) hanging by 0.5, annotation should be indented to the left by 0.5 (nothing under special)

  • All spacing should be single

Other notes:

  • Everyone must have primary sources with books (you can view them online just cite them as if you saw them in person)

  • Get interviews!

  • YouTube should only be cited if you have a visual/image section--- if you need to cite the source trace back to the original documentary or website it was found on

  • Do NOT cite search engines(historical newspapers, google etc.). Instead find the original source-- cite the actual newspaper book etc.
