Potential Interests in Dunstanburgh
Last year's project can be found at: http://metamedia.stanford.edu/traumwerk/index.php/Dunstanburgh
Check this out-- official page for Dunstanburgh: http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-dunstanburghcastle/

And this site's pretty cool: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.1219

Rachel: So we are all pretty much in agreement now that we should pursue a few storylines of different visitors to the castle that would segue into the specific areas of our research. We'd do this by making a list of personalities we wanted to write from the perspective of, then just linking to other pages like mad from there.
We have three basic time periods, right?
So click on any of these three eras to add perspectives you want to write from. (For example, Vivian might want to write from the perspective of a pre feudal pilgrim to Lindisfarne, so she's make a link under pre feudal to "pilgrim." I'd want to write from the perspective of a medieval archer in the watchtowers, so I'd add a link "archer" under feudal.) I guess my one caveat would be, don't over-extend yourselves by trying to do too many different perspectives. Other than that, I'm excited to finally get this project started!
I see Tim doing a lot of posting, which is great - other people should start posting too, even if in a preliminary form, so you have enough time to link each to each other's projects - much better than stand-alone personal projects.
Also we need to find time for all of you to meet with me to go over the organization of and actually run through your group oral presentation. This can be individually or as a group, though I suggest that, no matter how you meet with me, you practice as a group at least once to make sure everything flows smoothly. Let me know your preferences for meeting as a group or individually (I think a group run-through and comments session would probably take 40 mins to an hour - individual sessions would take more like 15-20 mins, but you lose the advantage of an extra group practice). Either way works with me - let me know and we'll make it happen.
Please feel free to edit and add to the framework I built. It was admittedly hastily made, and I still see there being several additions to the main page, namely further description of and links to the wiki we create as they become available. Also I'd like there to be more of a direct lead into the Visitors aspect of our wiki, but I can probably handle doing that.
Anyway, hope all this new stuff works well for you, and if anyone has any major problems with the basic organization we've got now, don't hesitate to either bring it up here or on the new discussion pages, or just fix it yourselves.
