TOPIC OPTIONS & EXPLANATIONS

**Follow each options' checklist, in addition to the project rubric, to ensure you completed all of the requirements**

Option 1: RE-WRITE HISTORY

Choose a time or an event in history and give a quick summary of what ACTUALLY happened. Then, take that

event and CHANGE a piece of the event, and THEORIZE what would have happened following your change. You will need

to analyze each effect (at least 7) that you’ve theorized about being a possibility and why you think your change would

have caused those new effects to happen. You must be able to rationalize why the differences would have happened,

which should be based on PAST history, not things we have seen recently. After theorizing the differences of the past,

change your focus to our current lives and how an event from so long ago could have changed our lives today. You must

include a visual representation for each of the 7 changes made.

Requirements Completed? (checkmark)

Choose a time or event in history

Summarized actual the event

Changed a piece of time or event

Came up with at least 7 effects of your change with explanations as to why those effects would

have happened (based on PAST history)

Used examples from history to support explanations Described how the changed event could have changed our lives today

Created visuals representations for each (7) change

Parts 2 & 3 of the synopsis Works cited Presentation

Option 2: HISTORY THROUGH ANOTHER'S EYES

We have been given a vision of history that is looked at from the "outside looking in," meaning we look merely at

what historians thought were the main points, effects, and importance of an event. For this project, you will look at an event

in history through a SPECIFIC woman’s set of eyes of your choice. You could choose the "eyes" of the leader who is in

power, a soldier fighting during a war, a peasant being worked to the bone, or anything in between. You will be required

to take in and explain what they may have experienced visually, what they may have heard, said, or even what they felt

as well as analyze why they could or would have felt this way (based on your knowledge of history). Again, you will be

required to use examples from past history to help prove your opinions. If you want to represent more than one group, you

may. You must reproduce what they would have seen. In addition to the 4 visual pieces, you must also include an auditory,

feelings, and speech piece for a total of 7 pieces.

Requirements Completed? Choose an event in history with a brief description of what happened Description of your person's experience (saw, heard, said, felt) Analysis of experience Used examples from history to support analysis Created 4 visual pieces Created an auditory piece Created a feelings piece Created a speech piece Parts 2 & 3 of synopsis Works cited Presentation

Option 3: WEBSITE CREATION

Some of you have incredible technical skills when it comes to computers and technology, and we want to put that to

use. For this project, you will be required to choose a historical woman and create a full and interactive website to teach

people about her. Your website should have an opinionated topic or thesis statement and from there you should refer to

what we have learned to prove your point(s). An example would be something like… Julius Caesar – greatest leader of

Rome and History.

Requirements Completed? Came up with opinionated topic or thesis statement Used examples from history to prove opinion/thesis Included interactive elements (ex: links, videos, pics, pages, sections, etc.,) Part 3 of synopsis Works cited Presentation

Option 4: RECREATING HISTORY VISUALLY

Throughout history, artists, painters and writers have used their skills to create a visual representation (sculpture,

painting, picture, poster) about message of a person, event or achievement that has occurred. You must create an original

visual representation of the topic chosen FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF 5 WOMEN, as well as an explanation of what the

portrayal depicts. Then you must explain why you created your depiction this way to describe your event (what is its

meaning). Be sure you also provide a summary of the women chosen to give the viewer context for your portrayal and

whose "eyes" the depiction is coming from, and why. You must have at least 5 works of art in your collection.

Requirements Completed? Choose 5 women Summarized each woman chosen Created visual portrayals (3-5) for each woman = 15-25 total Explanations for each woman (what is depicted, why you chose this type of depiction) Parts 2 & 3 of synopsis Works cited Presentation

Option 5: RECREATING HISTORY THROUGH AUDIO

Much as the option above redoes history from a visual aspect, this project will require an audio creation. You again

will take a historical woman and create an audio story, podcast, or any other type of audio file that tells the story of your

topic through someone’s eyes other than a historian. This option allows you to make an original song (you may steal the

music, but words must be original) or even create a radio broadcast discussing the topic like sports talk radio does. Through

your presentation, you should express the opinions based on the people in that time-period and not today, as if you were

that group of people. The audio created must be at least 7 minutes but no more than 10 minutes.

Requirements Completed? Choose a historical women from a unit we have studied Create an audio story, podcast, other type of audio file, background plus original song(words), or radio-talk broadcast

Express opinions based on historical woman of time, not from today Audio created must be 7 minutes long 1 page synopsis including parts 1, 2 & 3 unless parts 1 & 2 are already included in the podcast Works cited Presentation

Option 6: HISTORICAL REDO

Everyone believes that teaching is easy and if they could teach it they would do it a better way. This option gives

you that chance! For any of you that think you want to be an educator, this option is your chance to design your perfect

lesson. You create the notes presentations, the activities, the note sheets and the worksheets as well as the assessment at the

end of the unit. Choose a historical woman from any unit that we have covered. Be sure to include what the students should

get out of your lesson and what they should be able to do. These objectives should be clear. Consider in your plan the

need to help those that learn at different levels or speeds and how you will achieve the desired end-goal. *See me if you

need help!*

Requirements Completed? Choose a historical figure from unit that we have studied Create a lesson that includes a presentation, notes, worksheet(s), activity(ies), and an assessment for the lesson

Objectives of the lesson (what the students should know and be able to do afterwards) Included in lesson plan strategies to help students that may learn faster or slower than the majority Part 3 of synopsis Works cited Presentation

Option 7: IF YOU BUILD IT… IT’S HISTORY!!

Some of you are incredibly talented at building things from many different media. This project allows you to do

just that by taking a topic from history and creating it with your own 2 hands. Your creation should be intricate and

detailed and be relatively self-explanatory (people should know what it is or what it is referring to without explanation).

When completed with your construction, you will need to write a short history (minimum 1 page typed) of your topic and

what its historical importance was, as well as why you chose to build this and the effect it has had on you. Please also add

a description of HOW you built it; a general step by step process.

Requirements Completed?

Choose a historical woman or group of women Media creation should be done with your own 2 hands Media creation should be intricate, detailed & self-explanatory

Short history (1 page minimum)-Why historically important? & Why choose to build this & the effect

it has had on you?

Option 8: SOCIAL TABOOS

In today's society, there are things some people find to be unacceptable (same sex marriage, genetic mutation, sex

on tv, etc.) and respond very passionately for or against those ideas. Take a trip back into a time in ancient history to

choose a historical woman that was considered taboo (unaccepted) and explain why it was viewed in this way. After

explaining how it was viewed then, and why, compare it to the reactions people have to an idea of today and then

explain how people today can learn from the ideas of the past. Your opinion can be for or against the taboo of the past

and today (will not affect grade) but should address not a personal opinion but rather the effect on the general public. This

cannot be from your assumptions, you will be required to use past historical information to prove your points. You must

discuss at least 5 social taboos.

Requirements Completed? Choose specific women that were considered socially taboo from ancient history Describe each of the women and explain why their behavior was considered unacceptable in ancient times

Find 5 specific social taboos from our current era that are similar Explain the connection between the pair of 5 taboos current and past Explain what we can learn about social norms from the past Discussed at least 5 social taboos 1 page synopsis Works cited Presentation

Option 9: HISTORICAL TOP 10

Create a list of the Top 10 Historical Women - and explain why they rank in this way. You may choose to compile

a list of the bravest women, worst female leaders, best female leaders, or overall historical significance. etc. The

descriptions of why something is #1 or #10, you must explain why it is better than the one that is below it or why it is not

as important as the one above it. Each explanation should explain how this fits into your top 10 list and why it is so

historically important. Lists should start from 10 and work up to the most important and the number 1 item should have a

significantly better description of what makes it #1 over all the others. While these lists will be opinion in nature, their

reasoning should be mostly factual or accurate when being used. Saying something is great “because it's awesome” is

unacceptable and has no factual or accurate basis. Give reasons and analysis as to why.

Requirements Completed? List of at least 10 women from ancient history Brief description of each woman is included Common categories used to compare and rank women Explanation of the common categories and why they are relevant Reasoning should be factually and historically based 1 page synopsis Works cited Presentation

Option 10: NEWSPAPER/ADVERTISEMENT

You will create a newspaper chronicling the lives and role of women in ancient history. You must provide 5

newspaper articles each representing a woman from a different time period in history (Ancient Egypt, Greece, etc). An

example of an article could be on a woman you think is heroic like Joan of Arc. Write an article that highlights the role she

played in the Battle of Orleans during the Hundred Years War.

Requirements Completed?

Project is in newspaper format

Includes 5 separate articles

Each article represents a woman from a different time period in ancient history

Option 11: DOCUMENTARY

You will create a documentary of a historical woman of your choice. We have watched several documentaries

throughout the year (Engineering an Empire series). Your documentary should be a combination of a re-creation of that

time, as well as guest speakers. You are responsible for props and finding “actors” for your documentary. This option also

requires the knowledge of filming and editing. You must have the technology to create a documentary (laptop/computer,

editing app, etc.). You are responsible for researching the person and writing a script that is due as part of the project

grade.

Requirements Completed? Choose historical women and highlight her important accomplishments in video format Video should be 5-10 minutes in length At least two other people that are associated with her should give their point of view about her accomplishments.

Script should be typed to submit with the video project Script/ Documentary should include the synopsis information parts 1 and 2 or you need to submit all parts of the synopsis in written format.

Option 12: CREATE A GAME (BOARD OR ELECTRONIC)

Life during certain times of history was not easy. People struggled to survive not only invaders, revolutions and

war, but disease and natural/manmade disasters as well. Your assignment is to create a game following the adventures or

daily life of a historical woman. You must decide a name for the game as well as genre (action, adventure, role-playing,

simulation, strategy). You must also create a storyline for the game. This should include developing an objective that

produce the magazine cover. It should look similar to a modern day magazine cover with a featured photo and article

headings. Feel free to do a quick internet search of People or National Geographic magazine to get an idea. Along with

the magazine cover, you must also write the article on the featured historical woman. The article should be 1-2 pages

minimum and highlight the importance of the historical woman you chose (she is featured on the magazine cover!).

Requirements Completed? Choose a historical women and highlight her important accomplishments with a magazine cover and article
