Where to look Look at library archives (call them and ask them if they have anything on your subject, the larger the library, the better off you are!) Look at institutes such as museums Look in books in the library Encyclopedias

Documentary Don’t forget to add your photo citations to the annotated bib. If this is not done… I will not let you go to the competition and your grades will decrease. Remember LOC is awesome!!!!!

Still Confused? Look at your rulebook Look at the NHD examples

Exhibits- Due this Week Typed information for left side, middle, and right side of exhibit Updated Annotated bib

Exhibits: Due next week (100 pts) Your photographs- You need to find proof of your story now. You found some. But find some more. Remember, the pictures need to help tell your story. If you don’t have a good reason for the picture, don’t print it out. Hint: I would probably buy your trifold (or two if you want more space) Go to Walmart or Meijer… don’t waste a bunch of money on it. Hint #2: Don’t glue anything on. You might change how you want it to look. Hint #3: Give Ms. C .25 and she will put them in a manilla envelope and hold onto your pictures for you.

Exhibit: How to cite your photos ON your exhibit Brief factual credit (Does not count towards your word count). Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1942, PBS Your title for the photo, the year it was taken, the website or book your found it in If you decide to add a caption (a brief explanation of the photograph), that counts towards your word count.
