Why History Fair? Builds researching, critical thinking, and
presentation skills essential for college and IB Assessing validity, point of view, change over
time, and cause and effect=> IB/AP Exam Skills

Grade Booster or Grade Buster?History Fair is the most weighted grade and
point total of ANY assignment ALL year in History Research --- 200 points
History Fair also counts for PDP World Studies Will this help or hurt your semester 1 grade?

However…
To the Victors Go the Spoils Advancing Projects = Extra Credit Points in

Bakke’s Rules No More than 3 in a group except
Performances You May Only work w/ people in this room Topics must be approved by me via the
Proposal Paper Some topics are on the auto rejected list
Pick a Genre, Any GenreThe choices are Performance, Exhibit, Paper,
or DocumentaryHint #1: Performances are the smallest and
easiest to advance (I will also add 10 pts e.c. to any group choosing performance)
Hint #2: Strategic advantage to work alone, as group and individual are two separate categories for each type of project
Hint #3: Papers are a small category as well and you skip the city round if you qualify for regionals

2014 Theme: Rights and Responsibility in Chicago’s History
See Topic Article Your Project must be Chicago themedTopics must combine both parts of this theme. What are the differences b/t rights and responsibility?
Hint: Look to gender issues, political issues, court cases, city govt. policy, education policy, racial issues, etc. What is the struggle between those who have power and those who don’t?
-What are we required to give to the community? What are we entitled to be given?
-How do we balance the rights of the individual with the rights of the group?
-What responsibilities do we have to protect those who cannot protect themselves?
