Literature Fair Information

 


LITERATURE FAIR INFORMATION

NLCA School Literature Fair: October 2nd

 1. Every project must have a backboard. This can be homemade or purchased from your school or a store. Just make sure the backboard can stand by itself when placed on a tabletop.

2. No project may occupy a space larger than 30” front to back and 36” side to side. Displays must fit on the table space provided.

3. Project utilizing any type of battery-operated devices in the display must use these items as an enhancement to the project. Electronic media may not be used in lieu of the oral presentation. Judges will deduct points from the overall score for failure to follow this guideline.

4. Each participant must give an oral presentation 3-5 minutes in length. It is suggested that both members speak in a pair or class project. (If a participant feels that 3-5 minutes is inadequate, he/she may need to add information to his/her project board.)

5. Projects for third grade are individual only.

6. A project must be a student’s work. Points will be deducted if resources and direct quotes are not credited to their original source. Blatant plagiarism may result in the project being disqualified. Parents, teachers, and other adults may give suggestions and guidance to the student; however, the student must perform all actual construction of the project and display.

7. Spelling and grammar are important and should be correct.

8. Be imaginative, neat, and creative.

9. Don’t wait until the last minute to begin your reading and do your research.
