Project Progress Update 4

I have managed to fill out the three skeleton exhibits from my previous update.

These were  American Treason Law, Allegiance,  Virtue and Benedict Arnold and Nationalism. 

I have filled out scholarly information videos and images related to these topics.

I tried my best to think about what my students would prefer if they were to look through an educational website. Videos are better for capturing the attention of site visitors. It also helps explain a heavy topic better than me reexplaining what was detailed in King George’s Proclamation of 1775.

I added a photo of King George III since he was mentioned in this exhibit.

I did my best to chunk up the exhibits and be consistent and thorough in the narrative I was trying to explain in each exhibit.

I also provided a link to a collection of Congressional transcripts to allow visitors to see what was said in the Articles of War.

I then decided to add an image of the Declaration of Independence since ideas of allegiance and treason can be traced backed to the Declaration of Independence.

In the next couple of images, you will see that my exhibits become more reliant on text and primary source information than the others that were previously seen. I’m having some diffulty finding images that are relevant for these next couple of sections.

Much of the Benedict Arnold and Nationalism Exhibit is primary source and text heavy as they provide an analysis of the primary sources.

 

The next step would be to provide links in the metadata back to the areas in which I retrieved some of my resources.
