Today, Demone and I worked together to create rough drafts of the introductory panel. We used a GoogleDoc so that both of us could write and edit at the same time.
We started by looking over pages from last week's and this week's reading from Exhibit Labels: an Interpretive Approach by Beverly Serrell, particularly pages 23, 33 and 45. We looked over again exactly what an introductory panel should do. It is a short 20-300 word paragraph that should present the "big idea" and offer a brief summary of the exhibit. On Friday, during our weekly meeting to go over the readings, Ms. Bryner explained that the introductory panel is like an essay's introductory paragraph, it presents the thesis. The "big idea" is the overarching theme or goal of the exhibit.
Demone and I chose a big idea and then created three possible drafts of an introduction. On Thursday, we will go over these drafts with Ms. Bryner to ensure that we have selected an appropriate big idea and to refine our introduction. On Friday, Demone and I will turn in a final draft.
