IB 20 HOTA
We finished watching the PBS documentary today called "When Worlds Collide" today. We started watching the PBS documentary "When Worlds Collide". I also started a PowerPoint lecture on "The European Colonization of the Americas" which I will get back to next week. Tomorrow, we'll be exploring current issues in greater detail.
Please remember that your "Seeds of Change" assignment where you will have to investigate an Enlightenment era philosopher. As I said in class today, I was thinking about rock stars, movie stars and athletes today and wondering why Enlightenment thinkers aren't as well known as some of them. After all, some of these Enlightenment thinkers have made greater contributions to society, yet they don't enjoy the fame and notoriety as some these entertainment and sports celebrities. We're going to change that. I gave you some ideas in which direction this creative project could go (trading cards, magazine cover stories, Prezis, infographics, website--I changed my mind, what can I say?), show me how creative you are! Just make sure that you present the information in a concise, fun, informative way, and that your project meets all of the requirements, which are as follows:
- Biographical Information (3 marks)
- Area(s) of Work (what fields did they work in?) (2 marks)
- Ideas Introduced (2 marks)
- Aspect of medieval society that they challenged (2 marks)
- Were they influential in their own time? (5 marks)
- What were their contributions to modern society? (3 marks)
- Mechanics, spelling, grammar, and list of sources cited using a recognized citation system (APA, MLA, Chicago) (3 marks)
