Student Task 2008

Your task is to create a new post that has all of the following:
  • One of the Unit Themes/Topics
  • A question to be answered (You can use old essay questions from unit essay's or from our seminar topic list)
  • The questions that you create should be more analytical than descriptive questions. For example, focus on issues such as economic change and political thought instead of merely relating the story of Louis XVI's shortcomings. Look deeper! Analyze the ways Marxism and the women's movement challenged traditional Europena beliefs before the First World War.
  • Links to web-addresses that will assist others in answering the question (Be sure to use links that will give your reading solid evidence and not send them on a wild goose chase) Minimum of 3
  • A video clip (roughly 3-10 mins. max) that discusses the topic at hand. You can find these online at different sites.
  • Note once someone has used a topic you may not repeat that topic (ex. WWI can only be used once so the sooner that you get started the sooner you will get your choice to choose from)

Good Luck and have fun with this. Feel free to add any other special features if you'd like (ex. images, powerpoints, etc.)
