![Page 28: SOCIAL STUDIES FAIR. PURPOSE The student will: demonstrate the use of analytical scientific procedures in a visual and verbal presentation by: –Selecting](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032801/56649dd45503460f94acca63/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
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. PURPOSE The student will: demonstrate the use of analytical scientific procedures in a visual and verbal presentation by: –Selecting](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032801/56649dd45503460f94acca63/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. PURPOSE The student will: demonstrate the use of analytical scientific procedures in a visual and verbal presentation by: –Selecting](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032801/56649dd45503460f94acca63/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. ~
