The workload for this year’s’ national History Fair takes up the majority of honors history students’ days, more specifically sophomores and juniors. Because students spend their afternoons and weekends planning the “perfect project,” many have started to analyze the theme of Triumph and Tragedy. This year’s theme gives students the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of topics that follow the idea of defeat and how someone or something can evolve from it and create a lasting effect. As the deadline begins to creep up on students, many groups understand the hard work and dedication that comes with History Fair. Many groups feel the excitement as their dream to go to nationals follows them as they work. As the draft is due November 13th, the countdown begins now, standing at only 11 days.
