Frankenstein Empire
Name of Assignment: Frankenstein Empire
Subject: 11th Humanities - World Facilitator/Teacher: Megan Terry Description of Work/Assignment: We where given one week of school, in which we where assigned to make a mega Empire from multiple researched empires. The Russian Empire, Ottoman Empire, Mughal Empire and last the Ming and Qing dynasty Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? Communication and Interpersonal Skills as communication was used to present this project. And Interpersonal skills as I worked in a team with multiple other students What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I am most proud of the ridiculous name that we choose for our empire. As every other group also chose the same features we stood out since our name was so ridiculous How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? We presented in a different style, where we where broken up. Each of our groups had 4 people in it. What the teacher did was break us up into groups of 4 1 of each empire. Where we then had to present. Id say this different presenting style helped improve upon my Interpersonal Skills greatly What was most difficult about completing this task? Everyone in the group had to research one empire each. And it was difficult keeping some people in enough check to do their work How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different? I would totally add more flavor stuff. Like a flag, having the slides look better. How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? It uses the prime example of my research into the Ottoman Empire. Especially with the use of cannons How can you apply this to future learning? In the future I can use this as a prime example of how to make a more fleshed out concept of a empire. Making sure the faults from the empires given are not prominent in any future assignment that is similar |
