Level 1: The Mirror
- What have I learned about myself through this virtual experience?
- How has this experience challenged my preexisting assumptions or biases?
- How has this experience challenged me, my ideals, philosophies, or my concept of life or the way I live?
Level 2: The Microscope: Make the small experience large
- 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
- What did I learn from this virtual experience as a whole?
- How can I apply this knowledge to other parts of my life?
- What are my views on the history now? How have they changed?
- How will this experience alter my future behaviors/attitudes/and career plans?
