CHOOSING A TOPIC... Pick a topic that interests you. (There may be several
ideas that appeal to you. Research these topics and pick the one that will hold your interest for several months.)
Pick a topic that has enough information for the report requirements.
Your goal is to decide on a topic that you find exciting and pass along the information in the form of the report.
![Page 29: SOCIAL STUDIES FAIR](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051402/568164e9550346895dd75440/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
WHERE TO LOOK... Use a variety of sources:
pamphlets magazines the internet videos newspapers atlases surveys interviews
Topics related to history may be found in encyclopedias or other reference books.
The topic may decide where you look for information. For example, if the topic is a baseball strike, then magazines, internet, or newspapers may be the best choices since it is more of a current events topic.
![Page 30: SOCIAL STUDIES FAIR](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051402/568164e9550346895dd75440/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
NARROWING A TOPIC Choose a topic that is not too broad. For
example, World War II is too large. A more specific choice may be the Battle of the Bulge, General George Patton, or Pearl Harbor, etc.
Instead of sports, someone may choose a specific idea about a sport. For example, ticket sales, profit/loss, players/team(s), salaries, or management would narrow the topic somewhat. ~
![Page 31: SOCIAL STUDIES FAIR](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051402/568164e9550346895dd75440/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

ORGANIZATION Keep all Fair information in a folder... packet,
notes, log of time spent (diary/methodology), and everything associated with this project.
Use notecards or a spiral to keep notes that you take.
Write all bibliographic information for each source. (The bibliography is title, author, etc. of the material you are using. This is required.) ~
![Page 34: SOCIAL STUDIES FAIR](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051402/568164e9550346895dd75440/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

TAKING NOTES... Write any information you find on the topic on
notecards (or spiral). Include all bibliographic information.
Do not write exactly what is printed in a book. You must paraphrase (put in your own words). If you choose to write exactly, you will need to give credit to the author and the page found. Don’t forget to put this on your notecard.
You might not use all the notes taken or there may be too little information. ~
![Page 36: SOCIAL STUDIES FAIR](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051402/568164e9550346895dd75440/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
OUTLINING
WEBBING, FLOW CHART, STANDARD OUTLINE
You may choose any one of these outlining techniques to organize the data for the report.
This gives you a “path” to follow to make the report flow.
An outline shows main idea, subtopics, and supporting details. ~
![Page 37: SOCIAL STUDIES FAIR](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051402/568164e9550346895dd75440/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
USE GRAPHS / CHARTS TO SHOW DATA.
![Page 38: SOCIAL STUDIES FAIR](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051402/568164e9550346895dd75440/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
INTERVIEW optional

You may interview family members for a topic about family history.
Be sure to cite this in the report on the credit page. ~
![Page 39: SOCIAL STUDIES FAIR](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051402/568164e9550346895dd75440/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
SURVEYS optional

You may survey your classmates in order to gather data about their opinions on your subject. (What is your favorite...? How many_do you own...? When...? Who...?Why...?)
It may be wise to offer A...B...C...D...choices to narrow the variety of some answers.
You will want to graph this information (and put it on the backboard, if you choose to do one). ~

first experience with writing a formal term paper.
You will learn so much about the topic as well as about yourself.

Congratulations!
