What to do in class while I'm away

Hi folks-

So while I’m at this conference, here’s what I’d like you to do to work with the contents of the next chapter in the textbook, chapter 25.

In pairs (listed below) create a promotional video for one of the following topics:

1) Recruiting Spaniards to the Central/South American continent as colonists. pages 664-673, 676-680

2) Recruiting Europeans to the North American continent to settle. pages 673-675, 677, 682-684

3) Recruiting Portuguese to the South American continent as colonists. 671-673, 676-678, 681-682

In your video you must make reference to the geography/climate, economic prospects, social opportunities, and the political system of the “new world.” You should include images and text to supplement your voice and pictures. Your grade will be based on how well you cover the above areas, and all members of the group must be seen and heard in the final product.

It doesn’t matter what app you use, but the final product must be exportable/share-able.  So edmodo, showme, touchcast are suggested options, as is iMovie if you have that app.

This project will be due at the end of the period on Wednesday. Viewing them will be your homework for that evening. In the event of a snow day on Monday, we will slide the project by one day and it will be due on Thursday.
