Also, include in your account why this site is of personal significance to you. – A clearly worded thesis, related to some aspect of labour art. – Details about who was involved, why they became involved, when the work, movement, union, etc. existed— as a general guideline, try to provide as much detail as possible. – project should include statistics, facts, and/or concrete data from valid sources to support or illustrate your claims. – Those statistics, facts and data should be analyzed and explained in detail; i.e. what does a particular stat, law, or fact mean in relationship to your historical site? What does it tell us about your topic? How does it relate to labour history? When you are including other people’s thoughts, ideas, words, or research, correct and complete APA citations will be required. Some questions for guidance. 1. What does the site look like? 2. Where is it located? Explain in detail the event and its actors that make the physical location significant? 3. What is the historical significance of your site?: i.e., what happened there? 4. Who was involved? What was the outcome? 5. If the event/person who is the object of the site is controversial, why?; i.e. some sites will honour a person who might not be completely praise-worthy; or, they may pay tribute to an event that does not deserve celebration. Make sure to include an account of this. Remember to continue to employ the rules of reading history critically, even (or, perhaps, especially) in this exercise. 6. How is this event/idea/person/change still of significance today? 7. What feeling do you get standing where history unfolded? What connections did you make, or did anything become clearer to you standing on that physical site? 8. Why is this event or person personally significant to you?
