HIS 100 Multimedia Presentation Planning Worksheet Part 1: Brainstorming Instructions: Brainstorm your thoughts on each question in preparation for creating an outline of your multimedia presentation, including specific examples as appropriate. State three historical lenses that could be applied to your topic and explain how each lens can be applied.

Describe how one of the lenses you just identified might change how you approach researching your topic, thus affecting the historical narrative.

Discuss the conclusions you can draw from thinking about how history is told. Consider how historians are persuaded by their own biases, motivations, and influences of their time.

Describe how your research of a historical topic can help you understand contemporary issues in our lives, and try to list at least two related contemporary issues

After taking this course, what is your opinion about the statement “history repeats itself”? Do you think this is accurate? What information from the course guides you to this conclusion?

Discuss your obligation as a citizen of your society to understand the history behind issues that impact you every day. (Note that this does not specifically have to relate to your topic).

Economic Lens: This lens can be used to view the events that led up to the drafting of the Constitution and how the economy heavily influenced it.

Looking at the drafting of the US Constitution through an economic lens lends more influence on the historical context of why the drafting of the Constitution was sorely necessary as well as bringing to light the differences in local and federal level policies amongst the states.

There is a saying, “history is written by the winners”. Simple enough saying with many implications of how historians can be swayed in their bias during those times. Being on the winning side history could be written and justify many actions done, whereas on the losing side enhances those same actions as barbaric.

History repeats itself, as has been proven time and time again. By learning and truly gaining an understanding of history one can separate themselves and see the similarities of our current contemporary issues. Sometimes the simplest solution is usually the right one to correct problems.

From the movement of rebellions and protests to the removal of historic statues it is plainly seen that “history repeats itself”. It can be surmised that the education of those who research it must ensure that the future generations will in hope learn from it.

Not only are citizens obligated to know history, they should be made to pass a test to claim citizenship like those who come from different countries and want to make a life for themselves here. In the current state of events it is plainly evident that many of the people are not educated on what truly happened in the past and are using political and social platforms to justify how the future will be need serious schooling of their

Part 2: Outline Instructions: Create a plan for your presentation. You will need to create 10 to 12 slides that respond to the critical elements in the Project 3 Rubric. (If you are using Microsoft Word, your multimedia presentation should be 4 to 5 pages long.) The slide title suggestions are provided to help you develop your presentation. The field for slide text is a place for you to develop your ideas for your presentation’s content, drawing from Part 1. The field for slide visuals and audio ideas is a place to develop ideas for visuals and audio elements that can enhance your presentation and engage your audience. As you develop your ideas, you are encouraged to provide details as to how you will use these elements to engage your audience.

Learning what it took and what sacrifices were made to ensure freedom was made as essential as possible, helps bring to light the value of studying history. Knowing how to search for truths will always help build a solid foundation of understanding. When you're green you're growing, when you're ripe, you rot. - Ray Kroc

Conclusions



The drafting of the Constitution was not just one event, it was a culmination of many in different spectrums. Had the Shays rebellion not reached George Washington's eyes and ears it is possible he may have never gotten out of retirement and became our first president as well as chairing the Philadelphia convention.

Our Lives

•

There has always been times when people have said, I wonder what life would've been like back then... what many people don't realize is how similar then and now are and have been and will continue to be until it is realized that the future can change by studying the past and learning from it. It is perhaps one of the most understated things to comprehend. What it actually took to create the U.S. Constitution. The events of now mirror many of the ones of then. It makes one wonder, do the politicians we have now have what it takes to draft a new Constitution for the betterment of our nation?

Does History Repeat Itself? (My Opinion)

History has been shown to repeat itself multiple times. Almost as if it’s an unbroken cycle. So long as there is human ignorance society cannot move forward. History has shown us

many times that by making even the simplest of learning and growth, one has to just view what came before and not repeat the same mistake. Until that day comes when bias and “history is told by the winners” is ended, I firmly believe that it will continue in a never-ending loop. Does History Repeat Itself? (Evidence From the Course)

Are Citizens Obligated to Know History?
