Judges Sheets for Each Project Category: Paper Documentary Website Performance Exhibit Quick tips: Remember to check-in as soon as you arrive at your competition location. Students will most likely have to sign-in by their names at the rooms where they are presenting. Connect to the Wi-Fi, especially if your project requires Wi-Fi access. New Jersey History Day advises all students to make sure their projects are not Wi-Fi dependent since judges will not make exceptions for students who cannot project their work. But, it is always a good idea to not have to worry about Wi-Fi connection! Arrive early to the room where you are presenting. Stay calm and collected during the judges' interview. Prepare ahead of time by practicing your answers to questions the judges may ask. Possible questions the judges may ask:- What is your most important primary source?- Why is your topic the best example of this year’s theme?- Why did you select this topic?- What was something unexpected you learned during your research process?- What was something that you had to leave out of your project? Why did you make that choice?- Why are you excited about history?
