1. Presentation Topic - National Identity - Our national identity is our sense of belonging to a nation, regardless of political or legal factors like citizenship and ethnicity?
2. Knowledge Question - What elements define and what experiences undergone in life determine our national identity? Is it possible for our national identity to change after we've already matured?

4. Thoughts on Presentation Methods
- It makes sense to start with a real-life situation to build into our KQ
- It's important to remember that KQ exploration should be the bulk of the presentation
- I think I have a very good beginning for Part 1, since I've held a keen interest in national/cultural identity throughout my life and my situation strongly applies to it
- While we should only start with one main KI, it is possible to build into more (like whether national identity can change post-maturity) during Part 3
- Focus on knowledge issues, not knowledge claims
- This means discussing the development of a KI, not explaining it's history
- Make sure to avoid ethical/moral debates
