Introduced today, also, was a Colonialism Project for student to do over the two week conference period in January when we don't have classes. Students should start on their projects and have a basic idea of what they're doing and up against for next class, 12/19, by doing items 1-4 on their project. See project below:
Colonialism Project Due: Monday, 1/30/12
To compliment our Colonialism and Imperialism unit, each student will create a power point* presentation demonstrating a different country’s involvement in Colonialism. You will become an expert and teach the class the history and affects of colonialism on your country.
Include the following:
1. Country Name: __________________________
2. Country your country was colonized by:__________________________
3. People groups and tribes colonized with you.
4. Area of the World
5. Map(s) of area (Before, during, after, etc.)
6. How did the Colonizer create the boundaries of their Colony (your country)?
7. Why was the Colonizer interested in this Colony? (Natural resources, trade, etc.)
8. Timeline of the Colonial relationship (from when the Colonizer first came ->when Colonizer left)
9. Nature of the Colonial relationship. How was it beneficial to the Colonized? How was it detrimental to the Colonized? How was it beneficial to the Colonizer? How was it detrimental to the Colonizer?
10. Independence movement: How did your country gain its independence from the colonial power?
11. Political and economic affects of colonization on your country: How successful were the newly independent country’s attempts at setting up a government? A economic system? (This is the aftermath of colonialism, the legacy of imperialism, the positive or negative affects of being taken over for decades or centuries by another power and then trying to be autonomous—self governing.)
