Judging Criteria Rules – Key rules to pay attention to • • • Papers: 1500 to 2500 words - words in footnotes count toward total word count unless a citation Website: 1200 words (does not include primary source quotes); multimedia limited to 3 minutes; no hyperlinks to outside website Exhibits: 500 words – including titles, subtitles, timelines; quotes and source credits do not count Performance and Documentary: 10 minutes. Annotated bibliography: annotations should only be 2 -3 sentences.

Judging Criteria Rules (con. ) All categories must include a process paper (new for essays) Students are required to answer certain questions: 1. How did you choose your topic and how does it relate to the annual theme? 2. How did you conduct your research? 3. How did you create your project? 4. What is your historical argument? 5. In what ways is your topic significant in history? This is a teaching tool. Do not use to make judge rankings but can read to better understand student process.

Judging Criteria Rules Violations I. Rules violations result in lower rankings. ● Examples: missing bibliography, missing process paper, missing title page. Most problematic – over word limit or over time limit I. Disqualification – only for severe breaches: plagiarism or reusing an old project Discuss and confer with Judge Coordinator to determine impact.
