I know this is an important part of my study of history. I will research my topic and turn in required
assignments on time.
I understand that my fall semester grade will be highly impacted by the product I turn in for History
Fair.
I understand that most of the work will be completed on my own, outside of class time. I understand
that I can get help with my project when History Club meets on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from
3:30-4:30. If I stay my parents will pick me up on time!!
I am committed to turning in an excellent project!!!
I understand that materials needed for my project are not part of my school supplies, but in addition to
them. I will work hard and do my very best to have a project I can be proud to display and present.
