PRESENTATION: Berlin 1930s to today
And here is what you need to do:
• Create an electronic document either
PowerPoint or on Wikiversity and post your
project online
• Discuss the different eras in an oral presentation
• Create a presentation of pictures and facts of the
different time periods
• Write a reflection paper and post it on your
Wikipage or PowerPoint.
• Create a bibliography of your sources
• And make sure you answer the following
questions in your project….
1. Where in Germany is Berlin? What were the demographics in
1930, in 1950, in 1965, in 1990 and today? Create a table to
compare and find maps of Berlin of the different times.
2. How would you interpret in your own words the differences in
demographics during those times? Write your thoughts on what
you found out about the people, the effects of WW2 and division of
Germany
3. How would you apply what you learned to show the
developments that Berlin has undergone since the 1930s?
4. Can you identify any differences in what you have previously
learned about Germany (especially Berlin) from what you learned
during this project? Present two to four facts from each era you
researched.
5. What changes would you make to create more balanced lessons
about German history in the United States?
6. If time travel were possible, would you like to live in Berlin in the
1930s, the 1950s, the 1960s, the 1990s or today? Explain why?
