WORLD HISTORY LEGACY WORK
Your final project of the semester will be to individually create, research and develop your own legacy work to leave behind in order to assist future 10th grade World History students as the students of the past have already helped you. Think about the past semester. Think about how this class could have been better. Think about the little things that you wish were available to help you. Perhaps it was a review game? Maybe it was a video on a particular historic topic? Or was it a visual demonstration to help memorize the basics (Middles Ages to American Revolution, order of historical figures, etc.) There is an old saying, "Rome was NOT built in one day." This means things do NOT just suddenly appear out of the sky. It means things take time. I think I have done a decent job of making history fun, easier to learn and somewhat challenging. Still, this class can be better. It will get better. It will get better with your legacy work. Below, you will find further instructions and the format I expect you to follow for your legacy work.

** Some dates and information may be subject to change.

UNIT TOPICS FOR SEMESTER

Geography Autocracy vs. Democracy Middle Ages
Renaissance Northern Renaissance Exploration
Reformation Scientific Revolution Enlightenment
US Revolution French Revolution Industrial Revolution
Nationalism Imperialism

ALL PROJECT WORK DUE: Monday 1/26

You will develop a creative way to assist future student learning. You will also create something to assess student learning (worksheet, quiz, etc.) Some, but not all, ideas include:

1) Write a short play
2) High quality games
3) Timeline demo
4) Power Point
5) Short Video w/ Video Notes
6) Computer / Online Quizzes
7) Review Games
8) Flash Presentation
9) High Quality Artwork for the classroom
10) Improving old legacy projects
11) And More...

ORAL PRESENTATION

Everyone will give a 3-5 minute talk showing their legacy work to the class and explain

A) What it is (explain, demonstrate, act out, show the class how your legacy project works)
B) How it relates to World History / Student life in 3301
C) How it will help future students of America

WARNING: Do NOT get up and talk in a soft voice or speak like a machine. Your presentation should be done with some creativity, originality as well as with ORDER & STABILITY! Keep in mind a teacher, especially Mr. P, and group of students do NOT want to sit though a presentation that lacks quality information and bores them. If your classmates look bored and uninterested during your presentation your grade will suffer immensely. A suggestion: Get students involved in your presentation. Oral Presentation will be graded heavily.

LEGACY PROJECT GRADING

The legacy project will be approximately 20% - 25% of your total semester grade. So if all other semester work adds up to 750 - 800 points than the Legacy Project will be worth around 200 -250 points. Wow! These are big points here! Student oral presentations for their legacy project will be worth 30% -40% of your legacy grade. Wow! Students better be sure to create and practice a super solid oral presentation before getting up in front of class and presenting their legacy project. Present with some passion and pride. Present like a human!

PRESENTATION SCHEDULE

Mr. P will have signup sheets circulating in class. Note: Mr P does tend to be a little easier grading the first few students who present as they have less time to prepare for the presentation and have to deal with the nervous anxiety of going "first" and setting "pace" or "example" of high quality presentations for fellow classmates to then follow. Those that go after the first day are expected to put forth flawless presentations of utter and complete quality. Practice! Practice! Practice!

MONDAY 1/26 12 Students
TUESDAY 1/27 12 Students

FINAL SCHEDULE

Period 5/6 WED. 1/28 Rest of Class
Period 1/2 THURS. 1/29 Rest of Class
Period 3/4 FRI. 1/30 Rest of Class


I want high quality stuff here PEOPLE OF AMERICA! I do NOT want big bulky stuff that I cannot store anywhere. Keep it simple, yet super solid. Remember this is legacy work. This has to be work I will want to keep for 22 years. This has to inspire or help the future students of America learn about history! It has to make them want to learn about history. Put forth your best and leave your legacy behind at West. Do it for the universe! Do it for Mother Earth and mankind! Do it for America! Do it for California! Do it for Torrance! Do it for West! Do it for Mr. P! Do it for future students! And above all, do it for yourself!
