I chose my topic by looking at the National History Day topic list. I gathered up some of the topics that I was interested in and I put them in a list. I put them in a list of about how many primary sources, about how many secondary sources, and which one just gravitated to me more. Once I got the list the rest was easy because then once I had the list I would just choose the first one and I also chose my topic because I wanted a topic that wasn’t very recent and was hundreds of years ago. All the topics were really great and it was just so hard to pick one so I asked my mom for advice until one topic caught my eye and I know the topic doesn’t sound all that glamorous but I was curious on the crusades because I had always heard about it but I never new exactly what it was so it spoke to me
I conducted my research every other day I would work on history fair and on early dismissals at my school I would go to my library and I would work on it then. Also I would work every Sunday at 5:00 for an hour before I watch T.V so I had a schedule of when I would work on it. How I got my research I would look up on Google, Bing, and encyclopedia. So when I was at home I wood use internet but when I was at the library I would use internet and get a couple of books on it. I even called a museum, but unfortunately they weren’t much help, to bad.
How I selected my presentation category was kind of tough for me this year because when I did history fair’s in the past I had always done an exhibit over and over year after from around 4th grade to 7th grade and this year I got tired of doing an exhibit and decided to venture out and do something else. So once I decided I didn’t want to do an exhibit I was saying so what am I going to do and I thought I could do a website because my mom works with computers and she has a lot of computer skills so I thought she could help me with the computer stuff and I also thought it would help me cut down on cost because I’m not rich. How I created my project was I just did it step by step and just put in information and made it easy to navigate and understand.
My topic relates to the national history day theme because when the crusades happened if the Christians hadn’t won then the Muslims would have the holy city of Jerusalem.
