Creative projects are a big part of the grades for this course. Three such projects are required: one for each section. These are very different from the papers that are required: these are designed to encourage (indeed, require) students to think beyond the box of normal academic work. I want you exploring history as an active, creative learner. So the limits of these projects are few.
Each project must be completed and submitted on or before the last day of that section. That day, which would normally be dedicated to an exam covering that material, will instead be devoted to a class review of all projects. Your peers will be evaluating your projects, and you theirs! That evaluation will form a significant portion of your grade for your project for that section.
On the first section’s study pages, I have provided some ideas for acceptable projects, but don’t be limited by these! They are simply suggestions and intended to show how you might proceed. If you need help, don’t hesitate to ask!
