Overview
Before beginning work on your project, you will write a project proposal that gives a brief summary of why your chosen historical event or subject should be the focus of an exhibit. The project proposal also provides a starting point for selecting your sources.
Directions
First, review the Project Guidelines and Rubric in the Supporting Materials section. Next, refer to the HIS 262 Project Resources to choose a topic. You may choose a topic that is not listed in the Project Resources, but you must get instructor approval.
Then, address each of the following by completing the Module Two Project Proposal Template:
Explain why you chose this topic for your project.
Describe why an audience would be interested in the exhibit.
Provide a list of five primary sources related to your topic.
Explain how each primary source relates to the historical event or subject.
