Students spend approximately five months working individually or in groups to create historical research projects.
Submitted by Nazareth Academy.
Nazareth Academy congratulates U.S. History Honors students whose History Fair projects have advanced from the Regional event at Niles North on February 28, 2015 to the Metro City Finals in April. In all, five documentaries and four exhibits have advanced.
Juniors in Mrs. Hawkins’ U.S. History Honors classes were charged with creating research papers, documentaries or exhibits focused on one subject in Chicago or Chicago suburban History. During the course of this project, students spend approximately 5 months working individually or in groups to create historical research projects. Students learn how to find and use primary and secondary sources as evidence in their projects. In the process, they extend the walls of the classroom into the community to find sources for their research. In studying the history of their own community, students learn how decisions are made in the social, cultural, economic, and political realms that affect their lives.
