Different types of historical lenses

Here is the feed back that I received on the Multimedia Presentation Planning worksheet:

Looks really promising! I would encourage you to use the "history repeating itself" slide as a template for the rest - it has a specific example (Iraq War) anchoring it, whereas the other slides are more about describing a lens or asking a question. Aim for historical specificity in all of the slides.( ( have attache the worksheet and the guidelines for this project. The project will have to be created through PowerPoint.HIS 100 Project 3: Multimedia Presentation Guidelines and Rubric Overview “If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.” —Pearl Buck Your final longer term assignment in this course is to complete a multimedia presentation. The work you did on the topic exploration worksheet in Theme: Questioning History and the research plan and introduction in Theme: Interpreting History will directly support your work on this project. One of the prime benefits of studying history is that it allows us to learn about who we are and where we came from. The people and events of the past can often shed light on the conditions and social norms of the present. Having historical awareness can inform various aspects of your life as well as future aspirations. Learning from past failures and successes can shape ideals and values for years to come. This is your final longer term project designed to help you understand the fundamental processes and value of studying history. In the first project, you selected an intriguing historical event and completed the topic exploration worksheet. You investigated the types of research you might need to do to learn more about the topic and developed research questions. In Project 2, you used this worksheet to complete a research plan and introduction. You selected one of your research questions and did some secondary source research, speculated on primary source needs, and used the information to write the introduction and thesis statement for a possible research paper. In the third project, you will create a multimedia presentation that explores both major developments in historical inquiry as well as the value of examining history. This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:   Investigate major developments in the progression of historical inquiry for informing critical questions related to historical narrative Articulate the value of examining historical events for their impact on contemporary issues Prompt Now that you have done some research with primary and secondary sources and written an introduction for a possible history paper, you will turn your attention to thinking about the creation and value of historical inquiry. You will use the research you have done throughout this course, as well as course materials, to inform your thoughts. To present your opinions and observations, you will create a multimedia presentation that addresses the following critical elements. While these questions may seem “big,” remember that you are addressing them in a presentation, not a paper, and can use bullet points, visuals, or other methods. These critical elements will be evaluated from the information you provide in your multimedia presentation. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. II. Articulate how different historical lenses impact how people perceive an historical event. A. Explain how historical lenses could be applied to your topic.
