The Big Idea should be one non-compound, complete, active sentence that includes a subject, its action, and its consequence. With a Big Idea, an exhibition planning team has a focus to reference and strive towards during the exhibit design process. I kept these requirements in mind as I thought about what the Big Idea for the NCSML “Guts and Glory” exhibit was. I actually worked for NCSML over the summer and designed an obstacle course based on this exhibit, so I was interested to see what I could come up with for the exhibit’s Big Idea. Overall, after jotting down key words and phrases that I and the materials provided associated with “Guts and Glory,” I feel as if I was, hopefully, able to come up with a successful Big Idea for the exhibition: 
 
"Through perseverance and sacrifice, the Czech Legion completed a harrowing journey during World War I that was motivated by the concept of identity and the hopes of forming a new country for its peoples."
 
I believe that this Big Idea satisfies Serrell’s “subject-verb-so what?” requirement and touches upon the narrative at the heart of “Guts and Glory.” Identity is actually something that NCSML as a whole focuses upon in most of its exhibits and other materials within the museum and is pretty pervasive in "Guts and Glory."

The sacrifices Czechoslovakian soldiers made on their heroic journey during World War I led to the foundation of Czechoslovakia.
