Project+3

Topic: American History
 * Specific Subject:** Founding of Georgia
 * Audience:** Middle School Students (Although, it could be used at a more advanced secondary level with slight adjustments)
 * Activity:** Creating a Timeline




 * Overview:** This is the third section of our unit discussing the origins of Georgia. It will be heavily dependent upon your responses to the online scavenger hunt questions of the first section as well as your group opinion pieces in the second section. This current section will focus on visually representing all of the data you have gathered and discussed into a very simple and clear platform.


 * Task:** You will have one class period and the subsequent evening to complete this activity. First, you will be given back all of their work on the current unit. With all of the materials at hand you will then be tasked with formulating a timeline of the founding of Georgia. This timeline may be represented either on the class page or it may be an original work of your own creation. You will be required to include your own opinions in this timeline. It must include visuals as well as important dates and events.


 * Process:** The class period will be primarily for deciding what information you would like to include. At the beginning of the class I will give all of the unit's work back. Once you are settled I will give you the class period to review your work and then formulate an organized timeline that reflects the most important events, dates, and figures in the founding of Georgia. You will also have access to the media center if you would like to gather their visuals for the timeline at this early state. Creativity with visuals will be highly encouraged (drawings and graphic organizers).


 * Evaluation:** You will be evaluated in several areas. First, is the timeline complete? Second, does it include visuals? Third, is it opinionated and include some form of creativity? Fourth, does it include various important dates and events? Fifth, if something is excluded (or included) its importance must be readily backed up in a short paragraph. This will serve as an alternative assessment. It will count for one quiz grade.

Below is a list of examples you may utilize to formulate your own concept of the optimal timeline: [] 2 solid examples, however you are required to add more explanation to your timelines. [] another good example with slightly more explanation. It however, still lacks the opinionated content you are required to provide. [] This example, although a bit large, demonstrates some creative drawings that you may choose to implement in your own timeline.
