|Stuff for Mr. Johnson's Class|
Over the next few days, you will have the opportunity to work in groups of no more than THREE to research and explain some of the important issues China faced at the onset of imperialism.
As a general rule, the who, what, where, when, how, and results of each of the topics should be clearly and thoroughly explained. In short: Why are these topics important to China's history?
Timeline of the Project:
You will have Wednesday, Thursday & Friday to use the Media Center and MacBook Pro laptops for your work. If you use your time effectively and need more time to create a high-quality project, it might be possible to extend the work time to Monday of next week. I'll let you know on Friday!
The information you find about these topics should be presented as a narrative in a clear and concise way - as if you were writing a newspaper or magazine article about each of the topics. DO NOT simply provide a list of facts.
The Finished Product
You will receive information about what your finished project should look like on Thursday or Friday. For now, you should be focused on doing research and organizing the information you find.
The topics are as follows:
It is suggested that you divide the topics up among the members of your group - each person being responsible for 2 of the topics.
You have a great deal of freedom on this project, but there are a few things that are "must-haves"!
Some suggested resources
There are MANY good places to find information about your project topics. The list below should be helpful for getting started. Feel free to use other resources though!
