” how can creative storytelling be employed to bring history to life in a heritage centre?

The research question is ” how can creative storytelling be employed to bring history to life in a
heritage centre? Spesifically as a case study in Jorvik Viking Centre?
You don’t have to include the research question in the introduction section just I am adding this and
the other section to you to be able to write the introduction (Drafts of literature review, findings and
methodology)
This section should include:
-1st sentence should be a clear statement of what the researcher is doing. Like ” this research
examines….”
– the introduction should be a little map of the dissertation. Briefly summarise a) what you are
researching, with details b)what method are you doing and why? An overview of some of the key
literature c)a brief note about what (if any ) gaps in the literature that the research fills ( you can say
there are many articles about the chosen museum however none of them is investigating the
storytelling impact.) d) a brief note about key findings.
– conclude the introduction with a clear sense of exactly what the reader is about to read; what will it
cover? how the research is done? why the research is taking place?
Supervision notes
so in the introduction, you introduce your topic more generally so you talk about the Vikings and
museum narration in museums and storytelling in museums and so why that is really important or why
that’s an interesting topic and then you introduce your own case study so you say well this is what I’m
doing in this dissertation it’s my research question that’s my case study and you could then even
briefly talk about your findings say what I found this based on interviews and one side research. In the
introduction, you tell everybody what this dissertation is about and then the conclusion yes sort of
again sum up what you found but then you also say well so I found this and this is true for this case
study the same study could be used for the same sort of methodology and research design could be
useful or researching other institutions something like that so you sort of has an outlook but you
reflect on how your dissertation isn’t just a stand-alone case study but it actually speaks for something
much bigger so please say I’ve talked about storytelling in this particular case about the Vikings and
history in this particular museum our storytelling approach would really be interesting for a
contemporary Art Museum or for other history museums as well.
I’ve worked about a museum that is about the history of the Vikings in Britain and storytelling in this
particular case and perhaps this is a particularly relevant case like the Vikings have so much myth
around them that stories are like a logical approach you could then also say well I have also shown
how storytelling reaches people and an approach like that might also be used in different settings and
might be particularly useful for historical museums sort of archaeological sites.
