History project advice

Alri I'm doing my history project on the hillsborough disaster for the leaving cert cause I had relatives who died from it and plus I'm a die hard liverpool fan. Trouble is I have a sub teacher for history and not really sure what to do. I mean the jist of it (in my view anyway) is that you right about a significant event that happened before 1992 and you write about what happened , and how it effected the world? Again I'm not too sure about this so please excuse my ignorance.

And if any1 has any links or examples of primary sources that would be great.

Cheers,

Basically you have 4 sections as far as I can remember. Outline plan, Evaluation of sources, your extended essay (about 1400-1500 words) and the review. I don't think I'm forgetting anything but I may be. I reckon you could find a newspaper report for your primary source and then find some secondary accounts with primary sources in it. If I remember correctly you need a historian's account too, which may be difficult to find for Hillsborough.

I feel that because you're a fan it may be difficult to do it for your project on it because there are a lot of little things like identifying bias that you may find to be more difficult.
