History Fair Rough Drafts
Students should be working on their History Fair Report rough draft. Your outline should be your guide to putting your paper together. Remember this is not a history report on that person. You are proving their impact on history. Think to yourself: "Why is my person important in history?" Your rough draft is only 300 words. If you type your paper, it needs to be in 12pt font, Times New Roman, double spaced, 1" margins. If you are writing your paper, it must be in pen and skip a line. You also must turn in a working bibliography. Remember to tell me how you used your source. You can only have 2 Internet sources. You also need 1 primary and 2 secondary sources. If you use a quotation, you must cite that in your paper as well.
