Project # 1: Imperialism
Due dates: Projects are due by Monday, December 8th.
Description:
These projects focus on the effects (political, social, and economic) of European imperialism from the 18th through the 20th centuries in Asia and Africa. In collaborative groups, you will create a posterboard that addresses these aspects. You will submit the presentation to the teacher, and then you will present it to the class.
At the conclusion of your presentation, you will discuss key aspects of your project topic with the audience (the class and the teacher). Be prepared to clarify or expand upon your points by fielding questions and comments from the audience. Know your topic. While you may refer to your poster during the presentation, do not simply read the data to the class. Use eye contact with your audience as you further explain the data and images in your project.
Directions:
1. Review the project rubric.
2. Assemble into a project group.
3. Choose one of the Imperialism Project Topics below.
4. Determine roles within your specific group
5. Collaborate continuously with your fellow group members throughout the course of this project.
