Historical Montage
Our next project will focus
on creating a montage based off of the history of your ethnicity or country of
origin. You can choose to use the country you were originally born in, the
country your parents or family were born in or a combination of both. If you
have more than one ethnicity you can decide which ethnicity you would like to
use or you have the ability to use both.
We will start off by doing
some research about the history of our countries. I want to know how your
country was founded, by who, what it’s known for along with significant events
that have occurred throughout it's existence. Once your facts have been
collected we will begin to collect images to use for our montage. We will then use our images to create a montage telling a story about our
countries history.
This will be a two-part
project. The first part will be the typed essay on your country's history. The second half of the project will be project based. Below are the topics that need to be included in your essay. You will be given a rubric in order to give you a better understanding of how you will be graded.
