Elementary
History Fair Winners
November 15 , 2005
The Plano ISD Elementary History Fair was held on Saturday, November 12. Projects entered in the fair this year prove that we have some budding young historians!
About the History Fair
The Elementary History Fair provides
students a worthwhile learning experience in studying
history and it is fun at the same time. Sharing knowledge
is exciting and challenging.
"The purpose of the fair is to focus and stimulate
interest in history beyond the school day. Students
have the opportunity to apply the many skills they
are learning in various academic subjects," noted Phyllis Stoup, elementary social studies coordinator. "
The fair recognizes
and commends youthful talent and hobby pursuits.
Hopefully, this experience has stimulated public
interest in the historic abilities of our PISD students."
The research projects were based on the theme: "Taking a Stand in History: People, Ideas, Events." Students worked individually or in groups of up to four students. Each project included research and a narrative explaining how the research was conducted. At the district fair, at least two judges interviewed each student asking questions about their display/media presentation and the research.
"We are very grateful to the Plano Chapter of Sons of the American
Revolution representatives of the Heritage Farmstead
Museum, Plano ISD curriculum coordinators and curriculum
specialists as well as community
volunteers who helped judge the history fair," said Ms. Stoup. "Many teachers and principals worked throughout
the day to see that the fair ran smoothly. An awards
assembly concluded the events, with
winning projects receiving trophies or medals."
