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
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.
