 * What in the world am I doing? **


 * This very likely is the question you are asking as you launch into the research of your Unheard Voice. It is a fair question given that we have never done anything like this before…but it is not as difficult as it might appear. **


 * Think of the situation as existing in two parts: **


 * 1. You have chosen a historical figure who is not commonly “heard” in textbooks. You have used multiple resources to gather a clear picture of who this person is, what they have done, the setting of their life, and other significant elements in their life. **


 * 2. Your unheard voice has been placed in one of five categories. The assigned category has a focus question specific to it. **


 * You must research the focus question pieces that relate directly to modern day issues. **


 * Then, you must assess how your unheard voice (part 1) would have //potentially// viewed-reacted-felt about the modern day issues. **


 * The __KEY__ is to recognize that your unheard voice had no direct knowledge of the modern day issues, so you are constructing a __hypothetical__ (meaning possibly valid, but truthfully, an educated guess) argument and perspective based upon what you have researched about the accomplishments-beliefs-skills, et cetera, of your unheard voice. **
