The What If... Project Requirements and Rubric
Project Requirements
Due date: Block in mid-April - April 21st for 1st and 5th periods, April 22nd for 2nd period
- I think this is the due date. We'll talk about it after Spring Break though.
Show me the following things in your final product:
- A clear explanation of your ‘break’ in history
- A list of events that would change if your ‘break’ occurred
- A description of how the event unfolded in real life (plus a citation for this information!)
- An explanation of why the events you mentioned would/would not have occurred
- 5 events must be changed (either happen or not happen because of your ‘break’ - this is only a minimum number!)
- Parenthetical citations for any relevant information you include in your descriptions of events
- You can cite by source number from your works cited page if you want to
- A works cited page
Some useful resources:
- Your textbook (I know, shocker. It's under the desks. It'll be useful here - it might be your best resource for this project!)
- This website. Check out the resources in the units from the last two years.
- Flow of history: a concise, flowchart-y way of looking at history.
- Wikipedia (this can't be your only source)
Some possible final products
- Timetoast (timelines)
- Mural.ly, Padlet
- a series of Thinglinks
- a Google preso or Google site
- Prezi
- Something paper-based is also totally fine as well.
