WORKSHEET 01

Plan an assignment

Choose a template and write down the question, the evidence you need, and what you’ll do next.

What do you need to establish on the ground, and where will you start?

List people, locations, and records that can give you firsthand context.

What independent evidence could confirm or challenge each account?

Note the first interview, the visit, and the questions you still need answered.
