One of the 'fun' things that is required in 8th and 11th grade is entering the History Fair. The kids hate it but it's always interesting to see what topics are chosen and how the kids tie in the topic to the theme for the year.
We did two entries last year and we thought that we were off the hook this year.
Enter Ms. B as the 9th grade English teacher.
Result-another entry in the History Fair.
So the theme this year was something like Revolution, Reaction and hmmm, some other R word.
Nina chose to study and share about how Mathew Brady revolutionized journalism with his photography of the Civil War. I've personally never even heard of him.
She did the research and paperwork but being less than thrilled with having to do this assignment again she didn't put too much time into her board.
Was she surprised when she went back after the judging to see a blue ribbon in front of her entry. She was actually mad about it because it meant she had to go to Region with her entry.
Oh, the horror!
She was thrilled to not do so well at Region so that she didn't have to go to State. Silly!!
