National History Day Winner: Process Paper and Annotated Bibliography
* Please note that this is an example of a NATIONAL winner's process paper and annotated bibliography. It is OK that if at the school level, yours does not look this lengthy. However, you do need to include all of the correct information. If you win, we can give you feedback on how to best prepare for the next level of competition.
* I have noticed that at the regional level, many winners have put in bold the key words or phrases that relates to the theme. This year, it may be a good idea to bold any time that you use the words triumph or tragedy in your process paper.
