WHAT SHOULD GO ON THE HANDOUT FOR MY SITE REPORT?
Several of you have asked me about the format for your handouts (remember
to bring 23 copies of each one), so I am sending you the
following guidelines. Remember: you do not have to do it exactly this
way… these are just some suggestions. Be creative.
Somewhere on your handout, I want you to put your name, the name of your
site report, and “Summer, 2005”.
You should put a brief bibliography of important sources, and
include the important points about your topic/site/monument (in whatever
format
you want: bullet points, outline, sentences, haiku, etc.).
Think to yourself: “What do I want the others to remember
about this? What is important about it? When they are back in North America
and no
longer seeing what they see now in Greece, what can I include that will
jog their memories? What does this tell us about the Greeks? About Art?
About History? Why did we come thousands of miles to hear about this?”
If you have diagrams or pictures that will duplicate well, go ahead and
include them, as long as they does not detract from the important facts
you want to include.
Length: Please try to limit your handout to two sides ( 1 sheet
of paper, front and back). If you have a compelling reason (diagrams,
pictures, something too wonderful to leave out, etc.), you may attach
a second sheet.
Remember: Your report does NOT need to include EVERYTHING you know about
the subject. You can put the totality of your learning into your
paper, later. When giving your actual report on site, you want to concentrate
on what we can see at the site, and what you want us to
remember about your subject.
If you want to send us an attachment of a draft of a handout, we’ll be
glad to look it over and give you my reaction… but don’t wait until the
day before departure to send it. Thanks!
We’re going to have a lot of fun, and learn so much!
