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 the Research Plan and Introduction you previously submitted in Project 2 are written. Discuss the conclusions you can draw from thinking about how history is told. Consider how the context of historians’ own time periods might influence or bias how they describe historical events. Describe how your research of a historical topic can help you understand contemporary issues, and try to list at least two related contemporary issues After taking this course, what do you think 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. Part 2: Outline Instructions: Create a plan for your presentation. You will need to create 10–12 slides that respond to the critical elements in the Project 3 Rubric. (If you are using Microsoft Word, your multimedia presentation should be 4–5 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.

Running head: Project 2 1 Project 2: Research Plan and Introduction Your Name Southern New Hampshire University Project 2 2 Research Plan Research Question: Why US decided to drop the atomic bombs to attack the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 Secondary Sources: Stimson, H. L., & Truman, H. S. (1947). The decision to use the atomic bomb. Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 3(2), 37-67. Bernstein, B. J. (1995). The atomic bombings reconsidered. Foreign Aff., 74, 135.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japanese guidebooks. Annals of Tourism Research, 29(4), 1111-1137. Project 2 3 Relate to Secondary Sources: the sources relate well to the secondary sources as they offer the context of the bomb droppings. They both offer the full information to what led to the decision to hit Japan. The war led to tough decision from both sides of war to get to might. Add to Understanding: there was a combination of thoroughly bombing blockading cities which were economically dependent on the foreign sources. This included the for food and raw materials as well as the threat of Soviet entry in the world war. Introduction The US had in mind about a quick as well as an easy end to the war compared to causing untold suffering to the people. United states had in their hands a lethal weapon capable of bringing this war to an end, which they used. This atom bombs dropped achieved the intended effects by causing maximum devastation. This is what led to detailed Japanese surrender. This was due to the devastation caused by the bombs to speed up the Japanese surrender. The surrender was the best solution for all involved parties. HIS 100 Theme 3: Historical Context Chart Prompt: Historiography is the practice of analyzing how the historical context of a time influences how historians write about and interpret historical events. First, choose three secondary sources from your selected topic in the Research Kit and copy and paste the full citation of each article into the Article Citation field. Next, explain in the chart below how you think the historical context of the time when these articles were written may have impacted the authors’ interpretations of the events. You are encouraged to check out this website to help you formulate your thoughts on the historical context of your articles.
