First Piece of the Puzzle
Some initial questions that I want to address in my final project (I may change these questions a bit later once I figure out my project or get more clarification on what/how it might look like.):
- Why did you choose the historical topic/question and why? What sources did you find to back up your argument?
This question will help me understand why they chose the topic that they did and/or how they reached those historical conclusions about my topic. - If the amount and availability of resources wasn’t an issue, what topic would you wish to explore more after going through my exhibit?
To get an understanding of what they like so that I can cater my next exhibit or sources based on their feedback. - If you could compare and contrast this historical topic to anything what would it be?
Wanting to let the audience compare the historical topic to anything going on in their lives. This feedback can then help me understand where they are coming from and how that might shape their understanding of the subject. - What would this historical topic in the past that we are discussing now mean to you in 20 years? Why?
How does the historical past shape your understanding of the present and in the future. This can be a difficult question because you don’t want to necessarily pose our modern ideals on the past and eventually the present.
