Visual Projects are GO!

Seriously. The deadline is right around the corner. October 5. Engage.

The Visual Project is an opportunity to be creative with the social studies course material while reinforcing class concepts to your peers. This means you will have to present your project to the class and explain its significance to social science.

Due Date: Monday, Oct 5
Late assignments will be docked 10% per day.

Choosing a Topic: There are many acceptable options for this project. The important thing is to find something that you’re interested in, and something that you can teach to the class. Here is a list of major concepts in world history: Prehistory, Ancient Civilizations, The World In Transition, The Middle Ages, The Renaissance, Exploration and Expansion, The Age of Revolution, The Age of Imperialism, The World at War.

The Project: Create a visual representation of your topic that can be used to explain its significance to the class. Possible examples include (but are not limited to): posters, dioramas, and replicas.

In addition to turning in your project you must present the following information to the class:
-Time period, concept, and location
-What is the impact of your topic on human behavior?

Projects will be graded on knowledge of subject matter, creativity and originality, and evidence of time and effort. Please clear your project ideas with me before you start working on them.

And...Go.
