This guide is for the assignment: Untold History - Circuits, 3D Modeling, and A Redesign of History
Your Task: Build a 3D topographic model of a location with an untold history in New England and New York. You will need to add lights to indicate specific locations, marked by a button. Additionally, you will record a podcast style explanation of the locations. The final product will mimic a museum style 3D model.

What is your question? All good research starts with an essential question.
Ex: What is the legacy of the encounter between indigenous peoples and colonists/ settlers?
What are your keywords? Searching a database requires entering search terms or keywords related to your search. Consider phrases, tag words, synonyms (don't be afraid to think outside the box).
Ex: "indigenous" "reservation"
"tribal lands" "Chappaquiddick"
"indigenous land" "Wampanoag"
"indigenous rights" "Nipmuc"
"Native American" "Mashantucket"
"aboriginal" "sovereignty"
Set up your search: Choose where in the document the database should search for your keywords:
Stick to Keyword or Entire Document
Choose Your Search Limiters: Always choose "full document" - there is nothing worse than finding what could be the perfect resource, only to discover you do not have access to the full article, only the abstract (summary).
Additional Search Limiters: You can further limit your search by date and document type (the type of documents that are searchable can vary by database - unless you need something very specific (primary source, newspaper article, map) you do not have to use this limiter. Similarly using the date limiter is optional, but can be useful especially if you need current information.
