For the weekend: History Head

Over the weekend, your task is to create a History Head for a region of the world you read about in Chapters 1-6.

Goal: To show how the average person “lived” the five themes of the course during the first period of time the course covers.

Materials: You will be provided with a printout of a human head in profile, a large sheet of construction paper.  You will also need markers, glue/staples/tape, your iPad and your blog.

Task I: Your task is to create a history head that presents how the five themes of this course would have been present in the daily lives of the average person in one region you have been assigned.  You are to incorporate images, not words, into the head, number them in accordance with the themes and provide a key on the construction paper. This must be done physically, not digitally.  You may draw, clip or print images for incorporation.

You must have at least five (5) images inside the head to represent a personal connection (this is something the average person would do/think/feel) and five (5) images outside the head (this is something that would be done to or experienced by the person by external forces). You must also include on the sheet the name of your society, a timeline indicating the era, and your name. What you create will then be posted on the wall of the classroom when you come to school on Monday. Be sure that before you do that you get a clear/visible picture (or pictures if you need) of the final product.  You'll need to post them to your blog as part of Monday's activity.
