My Neighborhood Toolkit: Shaping the Narrative

Decide on your focus—early history; an important period or era; the neighborhood now; an influential person; a personal connection or memento; a personal tribute or appreciation; an artifact or historical objects that your family owns.  

Jot down your ideas—anticipating the sequence of presentation and listing what you would need to tell the story—text, pictures, interviews, video.  Sounds like a rough script, right?  Whatever it’s called, it will help you organize and visualize.
