Your assignment for this Digital Tutorial is:
- clean up the metadata for your items in Omeka
- ensure the items are in Collections (we did this in class for existing items — if you add a new item, be sure you put it in a Collection!)
- create an Exhibit
Here are the tutorials we used in class:
Here are the expectations for the assignment:
- Check to ensure the metadata for your item is consistent (see #1 on the Omeka Collections tutorial).
- Create an Exhibit using the Omeka Exhibits tutorial. The exhibit should:
- Have a topic or theme (C, K, S all picked theirs in class; A & G: choose a theme related to Perpetua and Felicitas and their context or how they are regarded in history OTHER THAN gladiators, martyrs, or saints. Some options might be places, motherhood, religion — our brainstorming about the text is on the private student blog — go there if you need ideas)
- Use pertinent Items from our Omeka items to illustrate the exhibit
- Have a narrative description/explanation/exploration of your theme of a paragraph (or more but doesn’t need to be long)
- Text description/explanation/exploration should be accurate: use the actual text, the Cohick & Hughes reading, and the sources for your Items as your resources
- Clear writing
- Citations of sources (refer to chapters in the P & F text, cite C&H if you use it, etc.); see the tutorial for more details on citations
- Additionally
- the Exhibit needs only to be one page
- you can add more Items if you want to illustrate your Exhibit if there are not enough or if there’s something you really want for your topic
If you were not in class during the tutorial, reach out if you have questions.
