to your project, each with different headings.For example, if you are doing a project on

The Egyptians, you may have sections on ‘Beliefs and Religion’, ‘The Pyramids’ and ‘Daily Life’

These should be relevant and link together in some way

ConclusionThis should sum up what you have learnt. It

should also include some information about anything you found surprising/ difficult/ easier that expected.

Did you enjoy this project? Was it useful? Those sorts of questions/ ideas…

BibliographyFor your project it is VERY important that

you keep a note of all books you read, web sites you look at, people you speak to, etc. as this is what will be used for your BIBLIOGRAPHY

This means your teacher can check that everything is right and that you have used your own words in your project

SourcesSources in history are places where you find

information. It is VERY important that you tell the reader where you got your information (in your bibliography) so that they know what is yours and what is not.

Pictures (photographs and paintings), newspapers, websites, objects from the time, even interviews with people who were there/ remember the events

Use lots of different types of sources, do not just use the internet!!!

When is it due in?Your teacher will give you a specific hand in

date.BUT, next lesson you are going to have to tell

your teacher what you are going to do your project on.

You will have the rest of this lesson to brainstorm ideas in groups and feed back ideas to the class and your teacher.
