You have the choice of three tools—Prezi, PowerPoint, or Microsoft Word—to present your opinions and observations on the creation and value of historical inquiry as it relates to the work you have done on your first two projects.

Maybe you have always wanted to try Prezi, you are already comfortable using PowerPoint, or you want to format your presentation as a newsletter in Word (feel free to get really creative here and have fun with this). No matter your preference, decide which tool would be the most effective method for you. Complete the worksheet to gather your thoughts around what text, visuals, and audio you might include in your multimedia presentation.

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).

The three lenses that can be applied to my topic are social, political, and economic.

The political lens would change the narrative of my paper because I focus more on the social side of things and inherent equality. Rather than political equality.

I drew multiple conclusions from thinking about how history is told, such as what changes could have been made to when the constitution was drafted which possibly could’ve prevented so many amendments being made.

One major contemporary issue would be the election and the use of the electoral college. Another is term limits and the question raised as to why SOME offices have term limits and others do not.

I do not think the term “history repeats itself” is accurate. I think that there are parallels that can be drawn, and natural cyclical things that you might notice, but I don’t think its from “repeating history”

For me to comprehend the history behind issues that affect me every day in my society would be great. This is because to understand why things are the way they are today, one must know what occurred in the past in order to construct what is happening now.

Historical Lenses and History’s Value Historical lenses provide context to the event being researched. The lenses provide insight into the author’s political, economic, and social upbringing at the time the document was being written. To understand the author’s intent of their research findings it is important to get a sense of which lenses are utilized. History is not just a collection of dates. History, kept and safeguarded, is the basis for future generations. You are able to experience every topic via the various lenses and discerning the many aspects that the lenses depict.

My Topic Drafting the US Constitution

Three Historical Lenses Political. Social. Economic.

Lens 1 Political Lens:

 A political lens can be used to discern how the

legislators attempted to write laws that would

assist them or their state.

 Article of the Confederation were weak and needed to be more thought out.

Lens 2 Social Lens:

 A social lens can be utilized to discern the private relationships amongst some of the framers mainly Madison and Hamilton.

 In a communication to John Jay, Washington expressed “I think there is more wickedness than ignorance, mixed with our councils.” (Washington, 1786)

 In letters written to John Jay, Washington conveyed that he dreads that morality spirit has retreated from America. (Washington, 1786).

Lens 3 Economic Lens:

 An economic lens can be utilized to discern how Congress didn’t possess the power to gather money owed by the states.

 Substantial War Debt

 No taxes on States

 No Power Over Commerce

 No Common Currency

Historical Narrative  The first constitution was the Articles of

Confederation. It became clear to leaders of the government to understand there were many weaknesses within the federal government. Within six years after the ratification of the Articles of Confederation, 55 delegates from 12 states, Rhode Island did not attend, gathered in Philadelphia to hold the Constitutional Convention.

Conclusions  New laws remained a necessity in order to regulate the states and people.

 Every State regulated their selves; a more integrated administration was required back then.

 The National Treasury unfortunately didn’t possess the financial capital to finance all accrued debts during that time.

Our Lives  History is an important aspect of our daily lives. It helps us define our world view. I

 It gives us a picture into the lives of how others have lived and the struggles they faced.

 As American citizens, today, our rights and liberties are protected via ‘The Bill of Rights’.

 3 branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial) were implemented as a result of the Checks and Balances system.

Does History Repeat Itself? (My Opinion)

 I do not think the term “history repeats itself” is accurate. I think that there are parallels that can be drawn, and natural cyclical things that you might notice, but I don’t think its from “repeating history”

Does History Repeat Itself? (Evidence From the Course)

 George Washington expressed his multitude of concerns with the functioning of the government.

 Washington was especially worried that the national government was maleficent and lacked righteousness.

Are Citizens Obligated to Know History?

 If history can teach a person how to reside side by side with their neighbors, the teachings have already begun for one to be taught how to live with their selves. Comprehending and valuing what others have accomplished is one way of keeping life from becoming dull and inconsequential.

History, when accurately taught, displays the significance of religion, art, and literature as abundantly as it does that of economic and political procedures. Additionally, history alone provides pleasure to a lot of individuals. Without the knowledge of the past it is almost impossible to better the future. We must learn from past mistakes and accomplishments to understand how we go to where we are and use that information as a roadmap to our future
