Independent Learning Exercises.

In the grey zone notes for this week I ask a large number of questions about heritage sites and objects - and a full response to each of them is really a pre-requisite for constructing a good heritage interpretation. It would probably be worth selecting one of the sites, objects or ideas on your individual assignment shortlist and trying to assemble materials that provided the answers to these questions. This will be much easier for some topics than for others, and you should take the ease of assembling materials into account when you select a topic. For a major heritage site there are almost bound to be a selection of books and guide books available to provide you with background; for a quirky, minor subject this might be more difficult - but might not, you have to do a bit of research and see. Make a note of how much time this research task takes you, and factor it into your 'time budget' for the module.
