Taking a Stand in History: People, Events, and Ideas
Here's a guide to support students using the National History Day theme. To help organize their research and analysis, students may be encouraged to keep their notes in a five-subject notebook or binder.
Plagiarism, the use of other peoples' work without credit, is an activity that History Fair students should avoid at all costs. It is a form a cheating that can result in a failing grade in a class or disqualification of a History Fair project. Sometimes plagiarism occurs because people just do not know better or engage in sloppy note-taking. Innocence, however is no excuse. Frankly, it is embarrassing to get caught-and in some cases, can affect a student's career.
