- Library to Work on Process papers.  Examples and guidelines were shown in class.  See a friend or Mr. Hawley for notes.  Here is a quick recap:

Outline your process paper. There are four specific parts that the contest requires in your process paper:
1) Explain how you chose your topic.
2) Explain how you conducted your research
3) Explain how you selected the exhibit category and how you created your project.
4) Explain how your project relates to the National History Day theme that year.

Jot down a few main points for each of these four parts. Form these rough ideas into full sentences and complete thoughts. Add comfortable transitions from one paragraph to the next.

Retype your outline into a complete process paper.

·         Create a cover sheet according to the National History Day Contest's specifications.

·         This must include only the title of your entry, your name, and the contest division and category you are competing in.

·         Do not include any additional information. Print these and include them with your final project.
