Professor Annie Jones: Hi, everyone! Professor Annie Jones here. In this video, we're going to explain your exciting assignment that's going to challenge your analytical skills and communication abilities. <\/p>
We're going to take a deep dive into the fascinating medieval era, specifically the periods between 5th and 15th centuries. Imagine holding a historical artefacts in your hand, something created during this time. This assignment is going to let you do just that. You'll be analysing a primary source, first hand piece of evidence from the era. And here's the exciting part. You're going to become a historical detective. Through research and critical thinking, you will uncover the hidden stories and information within your chosen source. You're going to have 1000 words to explain why you've chosen your primary source, why it is historically important, and to examine the lasting impact that it's had. <\/p>
You then get to create a five-minute video presentation designed to engage a specific audience. So you're going to choose between primary school students, secondary school students, or perhaps even adults who want to learn more about the medieval period but aren't experts in history. So the key here is to tailor your presentation, to grab their attention and bring the past to life in a way that's going to resonate with them. <\/p>
You need to accompany this presentation with 1000 words explaining how and why you have chosen the approach that you have to reach your target audience, and remember to support your argument with further academic research. Remember to check out the assignment brief for full details. <\/p>
You'll have 1000 words on your primary source analysis, five minutes on your video presentation to disseminate your research findings to your target audience, and 1000 words to explain your approach and presentation design.<\/p>
Good luck!<\/p>"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","subContentId":"7cdd7ca4-d253-4f58-9db0-b16c98975061","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"title":"Video transcript: Assessment brief"}],"hTag":"h4"}
