• Documentary if... you find a meaningful film clip, a lot of primary source photographs, a unique story worth telling, a lot of quotes from primary sources that you could read in a voice-over, you had a chance to interview an expert or person present during the historical event, or you have significant background with film editing and computer video programs.
• Exhibit if... you find lots of unique facts that speak for themselves, you have found many still images, cartoons, or documents.
• Paper if... your topic requires explanation, your thesis is better proved in writing, you found a lot of helpful secondary sources.
• Performance if... you found a unique story worth telling, your historical topic has a theatrical element like music or dance, or you have a strong theatrical background.
• Website if... your research uncovered a lot of tangential information that would be better described in multiple webpages, or you have experience with websites.
