The Long Shadow of Little Rock. New York: David McKay Co. Inc., 1962.Daisy Bates was the president of the Arkansas NAACP and the one who met and listened to the studentseach day. This firsthand account was very important to my paper because it made me more aware of thefeelings of the people involved.-NOTE: Oral history transcripts, correspondence between you and experts, questionnaires, and other primary or secondarymaterials used as sources for your entry should be cited in your bibliography but not included as attachments to yourbibliography.oSeparate Primary and Secondary Sources You are required to separate your bibliography into two sections: one for primary sources andone for secondary sources.NOTE: Some sources may be considered as either primary or secondary. Use your annotations to explain your reasoning forclassifying any sources that are not clearly primary or secondary.

Individual Project CategoriesExhibitAn exhibit is a visual representation of your research and interpretation of your topic’s significance in history. The analysisand interpretation of your topic must be clear and evident to the viewer. Labels and captions should be used creatively withvisual images and objects to enhance the message of your exhibit.Exhibit Specifications The overall size of your exhibit when displayed for judging must be no larger than 40 inches wide, 30 inches deep, andSize6 feet high.RequirementsWord LimitMedia ure E1: Measurement of the exhibit does not include the table on which it rests; however, it does include any stand that youcreate and any table drapes. Circular or rotating exhibits or those meant to be viewed from all sides must be no more than 30 inches in diameter.See Figure E1 for illustration. A 500-word limit applies to all student-composed text that appears on, or as part of, an exhibit entry. This includes the text that you write for titles, subtitles, captions, graphs, timelines, media devices, or supplementalmaterials (e.g., photo albums, scrapbooks, etc.) where you use your own words. Brief factual credits of the sources of illustrations or quotations included on the exhibit do not count toward the 500word limit.A date (January 1, 1903) counts as one word. See Figure E2 for additional explanation.NOTE: Be careful that your message is clear on the exhibit itself. Extensive supplemental material isinappropriate. Oral history transcripts, correspondence between you and experts, questionnaires, and otherprimary or secondary material used as sources for your exhibit should be cited in your bibliography, but notincluded as attachments to your bibliography or exhibit. Media devices (e.g., DVD players, tablets, mp3 players, video monitors, computers, etc.) used in an exhibit must notrun for more than a total of three minutes. Quotes from another source (e.g., clip from a documentary, primary source music, etc.) are considered quotes. Anystudent-composed questions, narration, or graphics incorporated within a media presentation are subject to the 500word limit (Rule B2). Viewers and judges must be able to control media devices. Any media devices must fit within the size limits of theexhibit. Any media devices used should be integral to the exhibit—not a method to bypass the prohibition against live studentinvolvement.

All visual sources (e.g., photographs, paintings, charts, and graphs, etc.) must be credited on the exhibit and fully citedin the annotated bibliography. Brief, factual credits do not count toward the word total. SeeFigure E3 for an example of the difference between a credit and a caption.
