Illinois History Fair

June 22 - 25, 2009

3 Credit Hours

** REGISTRATION **

Help your students make history an active learning process through coaching them in constructing a project for the QU History Fair, Regional History Fair, Illinois State History Fair, and possibly even the National History Day fair. Too many students feel that history is a "dry" subject. By constructing a history fair project, the students are no longer bystanders in the learning process but they learn to "do history" as they learn to analyze primary source materials, develop their own opinions, and present what they learned in an interesting presentation. Learn about the various categories of projects, the process for entering a project, available primary sources both locally and via the Internet, and tips for developing an outstanding project.
