The document discusses determining areas of focus for an investigation into how the past has shaped the present. It provides success criteria for evaluating potential areas of investigation, including that they connect to the central idea and transdisciplinary theme, are substantial enough for an in-depth study, have potential for action, and can be researched using various sources. Students will evaluate suggested areas of focus in small groups and rate them for their suitability for an exhibition focusing on how the past influences the current world.
