Assignment+Instructions


 * Group Presentation of Revolution **

You will be working with your group to present the revolution that each of you has been studying. Your presentation will include explaining the revolution to the class, reinforcing their understanding of it, and evaluating their understanding of it.

** Outline of Your Presentation **

a) EXPLAIN YOUR REVOLUTION: Explain your revolution according to the cycle of a revolution. Do this in an interesting and creative way. For example, you may do a dramatization or skit, an interview with an important person (or people) in the revolution, a newscast about the revolution, or an “Oprah”-type show. You may also want to include pictures, posters, models, etc. that contribute to your explanation. Do not forget that you may use “technology” to help you out.

How you present the cycle of your revolution is up to you. However, you must cover the cycle and remember to mention the most important people, events and/or inventions involved, as well as the most important changes to the society as a result of the revolution. Give the class a handout of the cycle of your revolution. Finally create a timeline of 10 -15 of the most important events of your revolution.

b) GAME OR ACTIVITY: Reinforce the class’ understanding of what you have just explained with a game or activity. Everyone in the class must be included—for example, make each person take a turn before allowing someone to participate again.

c) EVALUATION: Use a worksheet, puzzle, or quiz to evaluate the class’ overall understanding of you revolution. Do not try to trick them; test only the most important information that you think they should know. You will mark this (10 – 15 marks) and I will include it as part of the class’ course mark. (Everyone, therefore, will complete three worksheets. If you are absent the day of the presentation, you MUST give me a note from home to excuse you from that mark.)
