Students will

present the chapter/unit to the class using: power point, posters, maps, short film clips, webpage, documentary, or other approved method.
Presentation should be approximately 5-7 minutes and should contain all pertinent information. Students will “teach” the subject to the
class.
Students will prepare a 1-page study sheet detailing the most important facts to study in their unit in electronic form.
Students will prepare one document based question for their chapter with 5 primary documents, (art, charts, or graphs). Students will
answer the question on a separate sheet, showing groupings and analysis.
Students will make a game as a study aid for all students to better understand their area of expertise (ex. Board game, jeopardy game, card
game, video game). Remember – the purpose is to both teach as well as entertain!!
Students will turn in projects on or before Monday, April 15, 2013. Presentations will be given throughout the next week.
Please ask questions to ensure understanding of this project. I will be available to help you during class as well as after school during tutoring or
during RTI. This project is designed to help you become an expert in an area of European History and to further understanding this through teaching.
All students gain understanding and enrichment through your project as you will through theirs. This may be a group project and if so, ALL students
must contribute to it. If there is any problem with your team, please let me know immediately–not the day it’s due. Groups have the option to
exclude a student who does not do the work if they have first tried to resolve the problem by talking to me. Projects will be done outside of
class on students’ time.
