Diego: For the history fair, I think we should do World War Two. There's so much information about it online.

Elena: That's kind of the problem, though. Everybody does World War Two, and the judges have seen it a hundred times. What if we did something local, like the history of the old Mill Street School? It's the oldest school building in town, and it closed before we were born.

Diego: But where would we even find information about that?

Elena: That's the best part. My grandmother went there, and so did a lot of the people at the senior center. We could interview them. Our teacher said the judges love projects that use primary sources, and you can't get more primary than people who were actually there.

Diego: Okay, that's a good point. I'll call the senior center tomorrow and ask if we can visit. Can you talk to your grandmother this weekend?

Elena: Definitely. She's going to be so excited.
