Two students are sitting at a desk. One is writing whilst the other is pointing to something on the paper.

Whilst your historical investigation should be a result of your own hard work, enthusiasm and motivation, it is a good idea to also get input from your classmates and teacher.

A great way of discussing your proposal is through the use of VoiceThread (.pdf 107kB).

Start off by finding an image or possibly even making a short webcam video clip identifying what you would like to research. Once you have uploaded this, record the ideas you have had so far. Your classmates are free to contribute to your thread, with ideas and suggestions.

They may have stumbled across something interesting, such as a book or relevant website which may assist in your investigation.

  1. Create a VoiceThread for your historical investigation proposal.

  2. Share your VoiceThread link with your classmates and get them to add comments.

  3. Add comments to three of your classmates’ VoiceThreads.

  4. Incorporate your classmates’ feedback into your research question proposal.

  5. Submit your completed proposal to your teacher via email or USB drive.
