Notefacts for History Day

NOTEFACTS

5 are due every week until January 2009- a notefact is a MLA citation with notes on it from a source pertaining to the History Day topic your student chose. Students are taught in class how to do notefacts. A source (meaning 1) is one article or picture, article, or other things from the list below. Can you get more than one source from a book (picture or map?)? Yes, you can!

VISITING MUSEUMS OR LOCAL ARCHIVES IN SACRAMENTO related to your topic is highly recommended!
