How this Plan uses your files
The sequence overview serves as the project roadmap rather than a separate extended lesson, while related argument, exhibit, and revision work is combined across workshop periods. Lesson 6’s exhibit construction and rehearsal occur before Lesson 7 critique; final presentation and reflection continue in the dedicated Showcase phase.

Launch
Launch
Students will launch the project by analyzing contrasting evidence from Hawaiʻi around 1819–1825, learning foundational source-analysis skills, and identifying questions that will guide their historical arguments and public exhibits.
Days 1 - 2
Take a Stand
Take a Stand
Students will build an evidence-based picture of Hawaiian society before major cultural changes, analyze the roles of kapu, power, and relationships with ʻāina, and use that context to record a provisional position about foreign influence and cultural change.
Days 3 - 7
Investigate Evidence
Investigate Evidence
Students will investigate competing evidence about the abolition of ʻai kapu and missionary and foreign influence, evaluate source credibility and perspective, and synthesize their findings in an Evidence Bank and Historical Evidence Map.
Days 8 - 11
Build Arguments
Build Arguments
Students will evaluate and rank evidence about cultural change in Hawaiʻi, develop individual and team claims, draft a source-based historical argument with a counterclaim, and revise their reasoning before beginning exhibit construction.
Days 12 - 15
Revise Rehearse
Revise Rehearse
Students will construct and refine their team historical exhibits, strengthen individual arguments through source-based critique and teacher conferencing, rehearse responses to challenging audience questions, and demonstrate readiness for the public showcase.
Days 16 - 19
Showcase
Showcase
Students will publicly defend their evidence-based interpretations of cultural change in Hawaiʻi through a museum-style exhibition, respond to audience questions with cited evidence, and reflect on how historical inquiry and feedback changed their judgment.
