You are going to focus on one of the following empires: Ottoman, Russia, China, Japan, as it turns the corner into the 20th century and faces reformist movements. For tonight, your homework is to read the selection in Chapter 32 that deals with your empire. You must read the whole chapter between now and Monday.
In your groups tomorrow you need to compose the following for your empire:
1) A digital chart that shows the problems, reforms and social classes impacted
2) A digital list of terms/names and their definitions/identifications that are important to your empire
3) Digital copies of two document excerpts that have to do with the issues facing your empire. These can focus on either the reform or the problem, or be one of each. They should be formatted like a DBQ, and they should be primary sources, not secondary ones. You may use documents from the book, but you must reproduce the sections/selections you wish to use.
These will combine to form a group grade. These are to be finished and made available to share by Monday.
As an individual, you are responsible for composing a political cartoon that represents either the issues/problems or the reforms for your empire. This cartoon must be done on paper, to be handed in on Tuesday. The cartoon must be accompanied by two typed paragraphs; the first should explain the historical context of the cartoon, and the second should be an explanation of the cartoon (Imagine telling a person who can't see it what it contains.) This is to be printed out and ready to hand in on Tuesday as well. The cartoon will not be graded on the basis of your artistic merits!
