  1. Advanced Content History Project

  2. Advanced Content History Project Although you may select a topic on any aspect of local, regional, national, or world history, your project’s research and conclusions must relate clearly to the theme. The theme for your project is…

  3. LEADERSHIP & LEGACY in history What is leadership? Leadership is the act of leading: providing motivation, guidance or direction, usually from a position of authority. Leadership also implies the ability to lead. Possessing the skills necessary to articulate a shared vision and inspire others to embrace and achieve that vision. What is legacy? Legacy is what’s handed down to us from our ancestors or predecessors. More broadly, legacy is what is left behind for future generation such as ideas and accomplishments. Sometimes legacies cannot be understood until long after a leader has passed away. Often reformers were considered radicals in their time. Abolitionists, socialists, anarchists, and civil rights activists around the world have seen changes in the world.

  6. Exhibit Historical exhibition presents information about an event, person, place, or idea from the past by physically displaying documents, images, or objects.  We often see such exhibits at museums, but they are also presented at many other places such as archives, historic sites, park visitor centers, classrooms, and even airports and train stations. For your project, you will tell the story of your research through historic photographs, maps, drawings and other interesting objects.

  7. Types of Project Below are the types of projects that you can create: Exhibit Documentary Website Performance

  8. Exhibit Requirement The analysis and interpretation of your topic must be clear and evident to the viewer. Labels and captions should be used creatively with visual images and objects to enhance the message of your exhibit. The overall size of your exhibit when displayed for judging must be no larger than 40 inches wide, 30 inches deep, and 6 feet high. Measurement of the exhibit does not include the table on which it rests; however, it would include any stand that you create and any table drapes. Circular or rotating exhibits or those meant to be viewed from all sides must be no more than 30 inches in diameter.

  9. Exhibit Requirement Media devices (e.g., tape recorders, projectors, video monitors, computers) used in an exhibit must not run for more than a total of 3 minutes and mustfit within the size limits of the exhibit. There is a 500-word limit that applies to all text created by the student that appears on or as part of an exhibit entry. This includes the text you write for titles, subtitles, captions, graphs, timelines, media devices (e.g., video, slides, computer files) or supplemental materials (e.g., photo albums, scrapbooks, etc.) where you use your own words.

  10. Exhibit Examples

  11. Exhibit Examples

  12. Documentary Documentaries present information about an event, person, place or idea from the past through a ten minute presentation that showcases documents, images, photographs, and actual footage of the topic you are researching.  Your documentary needs to have both primary and secondary research but also be an original production.

  13. Documentary Requirements Documentaries may not exceed 10 minutes in length. All entries must be student-produced. You must operate all equipment. You must provide the narration, voice-over, and dramatization. Your entry must be an original production. You may use professional photographs, film, slides, recorded music, etc. within your presentation. However, you must integrate such items into your presentation and give proper credit within the presentation as well as in your annotated bibliography.

  14. Documentary Examples http://www.youtube.com/embed/xo2dbBv76Es http://www.youtube.com/embed/f-a2Vjb2xng http://www.youtube.com/embed/GtGf1j_-S0A

  15. Website A historical web site is a collection of web pages, interconnected with hyperlinks, that presents primary and secondary sources, interactive multimedia, and historical analysis. Your web site should be an accumulation of research and argument that incorporates textual and non-textual (photographs, maps, music, etc.) description, interpretation, and multimedia sources to engage and inform viewers about your chosen historical topic.

  16. Website Requirements Web sites can display materials online, your own historical analysis as well as primary and secondary sources.  These can be photographs, maps, documents, or audio and video files. Web sites are interactive experiences where viewers can play music, solve a puzzle, or look at a video or click on different links. Viewers can move through the web site in various undirected ways. Web sites use color, images, fonts, documents, objects, graphics and design, as well as words, to tell your story. You will create your website using http://www.weebly.com/ . This will require an email address.

  18. Performance A performance is a live, dramatic presentation of your topic's significance in history. You may perform individually or as part of a group. A performance should be a scripted portrayal based on research of your chosen topic. Your script should be structured on a thesis statement, supporting statements, and a conclusion.  Your performance should have dramatic appeal, but not at the expense of historical information.

  19. Performance Requirements Performances may not exceed 10 minutes in length. Timing starts at the beginning of the performance following the announcement of the title and student name(s). Must be original- You write the script. Must be based on your research and historical accurate in the information you are presenting.

  20. Performance Examples http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj6f6hKsQPM http://www.youtube.com/embed/akNC-3kJg8o http://www.youtube.com/embed/8WzF2Tci9lQ

  21. Can I Work in a Group? Exhibit- Yes (2) Documentary- Yes (2) Website- Yes (2) Performance- Yes (3) NOTE- If you decide to work with someone, be careful who you choose. Your grade will depend upon it.

  22. Process Determine if you want to work in a group or alone. Select a topic of your choosing related to the theme. Select the type of project: paper, exhibit, performance, website, or documentary. Research and create your project. You must use both primary and secondary sources. All entries must include the written portion- (see handout) All projects will be due the day before the winter holiday break. The top projects in each category will move on to a county-wide competition.

  23. Sources of Information You must have a minimum of 5 sources. At least two of the sources should be primary. For some topics, such as the Civil War or many 20th-century US topics, there are many sources available. For other topics, such as those in ancient history or non-US history, there likely are far fewer sources available. The more good sources you have, the better, but don't pad your bibliography. Only list items which you actually use; if you looked at a source but it didn't help you at all, don't list it in your bibliography.

  24. How You Will You Be Graded? • This project is worth Two Test Grades • One test grade will be your written aspect of the project • Title page • Process paper • Annotated bibliography
