2.2 Assignment: Plan your Script

Carefully read the purpose of the assignment, instructions, and criteria for success below before submitting your assignment.

We are in the planning stages again for our third speech. As you plan your speech, remember to SHOW, don’t just TELL your audience about the events. Use sensory language to put your audience at that exact moment with you, thinking about the smells, feelings, tastes, and sounds that surrounded you at the time. Include relevant details to powerfully make your point. Include organizational elements in your script, including an introduction, transitions, major points, and conclusion strategies that are covered in Module 3.

For this speech, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Your introduction will need to incorporate a big idea, and the conclusion will need to reference that idea again. You may choose to tell 1-3 smaller stories to explain your big idea, and those smaller stories would be considered your major points. On the other hand, you may wish to break down events in chronological order. Regardless of your approach, avoid hidden assumptions by exploring relevant background information that may be necessary for your audience’s understanding. Focus on your storytelling details in this speech as they help to show your audience the “big idea” you are explaining.

Homework Hist 1302

Part (a) The Comanches were one of the most brutal and feared tribes in North America. They controlled a territory called Comancheria that encompassed parts of present-day New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. One of your sources states that the Comanches were the reason the Spanish did not go further north and why the East Coast and West Coast were settled before the Great Plains. After reviewing the assigned sources, please answer the following questions:

Why were the Comanches so feared? How did they control so much territory? Why were they so hard to defeat? How did Quanah Parker become the last chief of the Comanche and what was the importance of his role as chief? How has legacy continued in Texas history?

1. Address the questions asked in the paragraph above in at least a 300-word post and cite all outside sources appropriately

2. In your initial post, include at least one interesting question the readings raised for you

3. Reply to at least two of your classmates’ posts who selected different groups and attempt to answer their questions (100-word posts minimum)

Part (B) One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary documents, scholarly secondary sources, and then creating an analysis of this research. After reading your text and reviewing the assigned materials, submit an analysis of the people that shaped the American West

You might want to consider the following questions, but you are not limited to them: It has been said by historians that the West shaped America. How has the West shaped culture? What surprises you most about the change in population in California? Which group’s contribution to the West most connected with you? Were there any groups that you feel have been underrepresented in your past studies? How can each group be acknowledged for their contributions?

Post-Annotated Bibliography

It’s important to stress that this research often includes a lot of excesses—simply choosing the first hit is often not the right match for a research project. Students should write about the choices they made in selecting their sources and reflect on how these sources contribute to their developing projects.

Students should identify connections between sources. Students can address these questions: How do the sources talk to each other? How do they agree or disagree or qualify each other’s discussions? Reflect on the gaps that seem to exist between sources and identify the outlying sources that no longer work in their developing projects in writing.

A report on past and present of Sydney, and explore the emerging trends and signals which may impact the future.

The purpose of this report is to form a grounded understanding of the past and present of Sydney, and explore the emerging trends and signals which may impact the future. This will involve conducting research and synthesising findings to form the basis of your futures exploration.

About the report and things needed in the report:

RICH PICTURE

A rich picture that encapsulates a coherent and nuanced understanding of your challenge space. This is a distillation and representation of your research into your chosen place, community and theme.

The objective of this rich picture is to establish a grounded understanding of your challenge space. This will support you in exploring future opportunities and barriers to change.

Your rich picture should demonstrate both a breadth and depth of exploration. It will be your synthesis of the chosen context incorporating the 3 elements of the futures triangle:

  • Past forces which have shaped the present and emerging future
  • Present day conditions and dynamics, exploring norms and behaviours of today
  • Emerging trends, signals and drivers which are impacting/emerging the space, gather via horizon scan

Your rich picture should communicate a nuanced understanding of your challenge space, including:

  • key features,
  • structures, things and technologies,
  • stakeholders (human and non-human),
  • narratives
  • values

You should also be examining how these elements interrelate and interact with one another.

It will be impossible to produce a completely comprehensive representation of everything. Instead, this rich picture should illustrate the areas you have explored, and the areas which you are especially drawn to understanding further. This should demonstrate a broad understanding of high level forces, as well as areas of more focused research and unpacking.

You are encouraged to get creative with how you present your rich pictures. You can support the communication of your rich picture with text elements. Your rich pictures should present the past, present and future of your challenge space with clarity and coherence.

Your submissions should be the equivalent size of A2 or larger. This can be created digitally, or a scan of a hand-drawn artefact. Please ensure that it is clear and legible. You do not need to reference your rich picture, but PLEASE ensure that you are drawing from credible sources to support your understanding.

DEEP DIVE ANALYSIS

Supporting your rich picture will be some further analysis into key aspects of the past, present and future.

PAST

Your rich picture should feature key historical events which have shaped the present and may continue to influence the emerging future. The past should be presented in a way to coherently links to the present day conditions of your challenge space.

Additionally, you will conduct a deep dive analysis into events in history, identified in relation to your place and community. This analysis (300 words each) should outlining the chosen events and their significance and impact on your challenge space. In your exploration you may choose to explore both history from a macro and/or micro level, as well as events from further in the past, or more recent.

Your deep dive should present a cohesive narrative of history, exploring the connections between each event towards the present and emerging future. Your analysis should also provide a rationale for why you chose to explore your set of historical events, in relation to the challenge space and your personal perspective on its significance.

This analysis should address the narratives, materials and values associated with the history you uncover. Your analysis should investigate how the historical events identified relate to one another, and how these events together have brought about the present and emerging future(s).

PRESENT

Your rich picture will be primarily focused on illustrating your understanding of the present; the structures and dynamics of your chosen place, community and theme. This should encompass both high-level macro elements, as well as more specific micro features.

In addition to this you will conduct a deep dive into underlying present-day norms and their associated narratives, materials and values. Your analysis of each norm (300 words each) should investigate the everyday behaviours, activities and practices in your challenge space to gain an understanding of how we live in the present.

Describe what these norms are, how they exist in the present and how we live in accordance with them in your chosen place and community. Unpack them through the narratives, materials and values framework. Each norm should be presented with imagery illustrating how they are practised. You should also critically engage with these norms; examining how these norms may interrelate, the positive and negative impacts, who they affect and what their causes and costs are. Your analysis should also provide a rationale for why you chose to focus on your chosen norms, addressing your personal perspective on its significance in the challenge space.

FUTURE

Through a horizon scan, you will explore and identify trends, drivers and weak signals which could affect the emerging future of your challenge space. Your scanning should feature a range of interesting insights from different sectors and scale, and encompass a range of sources. These trends/drivers/signals will be incorporated into your rich picture.

Additionally, you will conduct a deep dive into key trends/weak signals/drivers (300 words each). In this analysis you should be exploring the origins of the trend/driver/signal, unpacking new narratives, materials and values, anticipating the costs and consequences, as well as the politics behind it, and outline how/why these trends/driver/signals are relevant to your challenge space. Your analysis should also address why you chose to focus on these particular trends/driver/signals. You should also explore how these trends may work in relation to one or more of the identified trends.
