Project+Guidelines

There are three aspects to this project: Summary notes (posted to the wiki), presentation, and collage for timeline.

I. Summary Notes

Summary notes should consist of an identification of the major theme(s) of your assigned time period as well as dated items that you identify and highlight as being important events related to the identified theme(s). These notes will be posted on the wiki page and your teacher will assist with this. You should write your summary notes in a text or Word document and are encouraged to include hyperlinks to relevant websites for more in-depth information on items found in your notes. Also, you need to cite your sources of information. The aim her is NOT to duplicate information easily found elsewhere on the web, but make it worthwhile. Summarize, reorganize, add depth to, and make the information more easily accessible.

II. Presentation

The presentation will consist of you talking to the class for maximum of 10 minutes. In this time you should: present the your time period and describe the CONTEXT for us (what was going on in the world at this time?), highlight your major themes you’ve identified, and then go through and describe each theme in more detail and give supporting examples.

III. Collage

You will create a small poster collage which represents the important themes and events during your time period VISUALLY. You will find/draw pictures to represent the themes and supporting events and post your collage as part of a timeline. There should not be much text on the collage, maybe single words that help support the pics.
