NHD: Process Papers and Bibliographies

Please check the sample projects on the NHD.org website to see exactly what your process paper and bibliography should include. 

You'll need a title/cover page.  

Center everything on the title page.  Include each of these items:

Title

Name

Junior Division

Category

Student Composed Words ___

Process Paper: _____ Words.

Your process paper should include an MLA heading.  Double space this paper.  You should write three to five paragraphs covering these items:

• How you chose your topic
• How you conducted your research.
• How you selected your category and created your project.
• How your project relates to the theme: Triumph and Tragedy in History.

Annotated bibliographies should cover everything you used to create your project including pictures, audio files and video.  

Divide your bibliography into two sections--primary sources and secondary sources.  List information in MLA format.  You  can use an online app like Easybib.com to help you.  

Each item in your bibliography must be annotated.  After you have listed the item, write a short statement (two to four sentences) explaining how you used that  source and how it helped you understand your topic better.  Use the documents in your folder to help you with this.


REMEMBER: Google Images is not a source.  You need to find the original source.  How created the documents/image you are using or who was the first to publish it.  That is the source.  Google is a search engine, not a source.
