Level 1: The Mirror:

Level 2: The Microscope:
- What happened for those historical individuals or events in history at that time period?
- What would I change about this historical situation / place if I was in charge, and why?
- Does this experience compliment or contrast with what I learn about history? How?
Level 3: The Binoculars

- How can I apply this knowledge to other parts of my life?
- How will this experience alter my future behaviors/attitudes/and career plans?
