HIS 100 Project 3: Multimedia Presentation Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
“If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.”
—Pearl Buck
Your final longer term assignment in this course is to complete a multimedia presentation. The work you did on the topic exploration worksheet in Theme:
Questioning History and the research plan and introduction in Theme: Interpreting History will directly support your work on this project.
One of the prime benefits of studying history is that it allows us to learn about who we are and where we came from. The people and events of the past can
often shed light on the conditions and social norms of the present. Having historical awareness can inform various aspects of your life as well as future
aspirations. Learning from past failures and successes can shape ideals and values for years to come.
This is your final longer term project designed to help you understand the fundamental processes and value of studying history. In the first project, you selected
an intriguing historical event and completed the topic exploration worksheet. You investigated the types of research you might need to do to learn more about
the topic and developed research questions. In Project 2, you used this worksheet to complete a research plan and introduction. You selected one of your
research questions and did some secondary source research, speculated on primary source needs, and used the information to write the introduction and thesis
statement for a possible research paper.
In the third project, you will create a multimedia presentation that explores both major developments in historical inquiry as well as the value of examining
history.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
Investigate major developments in the progression of historical inquiry for informing critical questions related to historical narrative
Articulate the value of examining historical events for their impact on contemporary issues
Prompt
Now that you have done some research with primary and secondary sources and written an introduction for a possible history paper, you will turn your
attention to thinking about the creation and value of historical inquiry. You will use the research you have done throughout this course, as well as course
materials, to inform your thoughts. To present your opinions and observations, you will create a multimedia presentation that addresses the following critical
elements. While these questions may seem “big,” remember that you are addressing them in a presentation, not a paper, and can use bullet points, visuals, or
other methods. These critical elements will be evaluated from the information you provide in your multimedia presentation.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I.
II.
Articulate how different historical lenses impact how people perceive an historical event.
A. Explain how historical lenses could be applied to your topic. For instance, are there aspects of this event that might interest a political historian
and what are they?
B. Choose one of the lenses referenced above, and detail how the historical narrative you started in your research and introduction might change
through this lens. For instance, how might the “story” of your event change when studied through its political aspects?
C. Discuss what conclusions you can draw about the “telling” of history in relation to the “teller.” How does this impact for you what “history” is?
Be sure to back up your opinions with information learned throughout the course.
Based on your conclusions, articulate the value of studying history.
A. Describe how you could apply to our lives today what you have learned from the event you have studied. Be sure to reference specific
contemporary issues. For instance, what specific issues that we encounter today could benefit from lessons learned from your event?
B. Discuss your opinion of the adage that “history repeats itself.” Do you agree or disagree? Be sure to explain why you have this opinion with
information you have learned throughout the course.
C. Discuss your obligation as a citizen of your society to understanding the history behind issues that impact you every day. For instance, what civic
duties you can be better at if you know more about their history? How can being a more informed member of society benefit you and society?

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.
Economic lens – can help
understand how
economics shaped
history and effects of
various events on
economics of later
years.
Political lens – can help
understand how politics
influenced the history as
well as how events in
the past shaped politics
in years that followed.
Social lens – can help in
understanding the
response and reaction of
people to historical
events.
Economic lens could
significantly change the
research plan I had
identified earlier. While I
had initially focused on
political and social
aspects of the history of
the war between the US
and Japan, I have noted
that economy could also
play a key factor.
Although politics played
a key role in making the
decision to bomb Japan,
economic factors were
also significant as
weakening the country
could thwart its efforts
to attach the US back. At
There are many versions
of history. Since history
is often very wide, the
information that one
choses to include in
their narrative and also
their perceptions,
assumptions, and
opinions regarding the
existing facts can
influence their
narratives. At the same
time, passing on of
different variants of
history across
generations could affect
the message.
History shapes the
present events. In this
case, it is common for
the actions of today to
determine the lives and
actions of tomorrow. By
studying history, one
can understand the
various issues that were
happening, the mistakes
that were done, and the
measures that were put
in place to correct these
mistakes. By
understanding the role
of history in the present
lives, it is then possible
to develop a good
strategy for the future.
History does not
influence itself. The
course shows that, even
with all the wars that
existed in the past and
the bombing of Japan,
the US and Japan have
since moved on and
turned into some of the
closest allies (Iriye,
2014).
It is important that
citizens learn about the
history. History not only
gives pride to the
success that a nation has
achieved over the years
but also provides one
with an opportunity to
understand the issues
that affected a region in
the past and the
approaches that need to
be followed to evade
challenges that occurred
in the future.
the same time,
economic factors such
as development have
also emerged as among
the major factors that
led to reconciliation.
Some of the
contemporary issues
that could use the
knowledge of history is
the prevalence of high
prevalence of cancer in
Hiroshima and the
conflicts between the US
and North Korea.

Historical Lenses and History’s Value
History is highly valuable in understanding the present state
of affairs. One can easily get an insight into the events that
occurred in the past and that shaped the present world.
There are many historical lenses from which one can observe
past events. These include social, political, and economic.
They are important in shaping the focus of analysis and
research as well as creating a particular area of focus due to
the wide coverage of the history being analyzed. History is
the best way to understand the present, which means that
this paper will be helpful in creating an insight into present
situation by analyzing how events occurred in the past.
The topic is military strategy. It explores the historical military
strategies and with a greater focus to the actions of the US in
1945 on Japan. The US military, under the orders of Truman,
bombed Japan. While many analysis have contributed
differently to the atomic bombing of Japan, the topic for this
paper focuses on how the bombing was conducted,
alternatives to the bombing, and why the US chose bombing
of Japan as the ideal choice in their war. At the same time, it
will also evaluate the effects of the bombing so as to create
an insight on the impact that military strategies could pose.

Three Historical Lenses
Lens 1
Lens 2
There are multiple lenses that can be used to explore
historical events. The three major lenses include social,
political, and economic lenses. Economic lens can help
understand how economics shaped history and effects of
various events on economics of later years. Political lens can
help understand how politics influenced the history as well as
how events in the past shaped politics in years that followed.
Social lens can help in understanding the response and
reaction of people to historical events.
Political lens
– Political supremacy created conflicts as each of the
economic leaders and those that possessed much power
sought to control the rest of the world.
– The US had risen by then and gained significant power
that gave it the capacity to protect itself and affiliates.
– Political lens will be used to widen the understanding of
the politics of the time and how the differences between
the US and Japan that constituted to the war.
Economic lens
– Economic factors will help in understanding the economic
effects of the bombing.
– It will also help in understanding the potential economic
motivations that could have contributed to the war.
– The author has a number of assumptions as follows:
– During the World Wars, nations thought that, by
weakening the others economically, they could limit their
military and political influence (Zeiler, 2004).
– The bombing of Japan led to the damage of vast property
and loss of lives, making it hard for Japan to sustain itself
at war and thus contributing to its surrender.
