Roughly, everyone will be asked about 5-7 questions • Ideally: two from the content questions and three from the significance/ interpretation questions • You will have about two minutes to answer each question. It’s a good idea to practice and time yourself. • Depending on time, at the end of each of the two sections (content and significance/interpretation) and after everyone has answered at least two to three questions from the section, I will open it up for a few minutes to ask if anyone wants to add anything further from that section, or build from something someone else had mentioned.
