Group work:

Creating a History episode

Each group will be assigned a historical period that coincides with a particular text we have read in class. The group will use one of the online tools that we have reviewed in class to create a “story” time line that reviews important events that were associated with that work. So for example, Burckhardt’s The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, discusses Italy during the 14th and 15th Century. The group will decide on an appropriate time period and create a historical timeline with stories and visuals on a blog, map, or infographic.

Each group member will create three entries of about 300 words each.
