Homework
For this homework, you will choose a topic from the course and create a mock exhibit proposal. To do this, you must find 5 to 6 primary sources on your topic and put together a narrative describing their importance and connection. For your sources, remember you are telling the viewer a story about a specific moment in history. Be sure to find robust sources that work well together in creating this overall experience. You will put these sources together in a slideshow with the following organization:
• Slide I: Title of the Exhibit
• Slide II: Exhibit overview: In 150-200 words, describe your exhibit. For this, you will provide general information and background. What would a visitor need to know to understand your exhibit? What context is important? Be sure to include factual information on the broader/period and moment.
• Slide III: Reception: In 150-200 words, describe the feel and design of the overall exhibit. Would it be dark and moody or bright and airy? Would it be in a small room or spread out? Would you recreate anything to have in the space so people can see or touch or experience something there? In this section, also consider how your exhibit might be received. Is there any potential negative reaction to this exhibit?
• Slides IV-X: Primary sources: For each primary source, provide the citation (in whatever form you would like), a copy of the source if possible, and any images that would complement the source. Then, write a 50-75 blurb for each that could serve as the label for that source in the overall exhibit
