Audience Presentation of Connections

Students present their final creative products—such as illuminated manuscripts, scripts, or performed scenes—reaching an authentic audience that includes families, community members, and domain experts. They explain the connections between the Crusades and contemporary conflicts, articulate the leadership and moral decisions depicted, and reflect on feedback gathered from audience members through brief empathy prompts. The presentation demonstrates students' ability to empathize with stakeholders, incorporate user input into iterations, and communicate their reasoning clearly. Final deliverables should include the performance or presentation along with a short reflection on how feedback informed revisions.
