Some suggestions regarding your Project. Remember that you are sharing information with other teachers to help them and you become more effective social studies/history teachers. So central questions, grade expectations, Vermont Standards, National Standards as well as procedures will be helpful to teachers. You may want to check some of  last year's work.
