Project - What is the Cultural Significance of My Year?

For this short project you will be exploring the key events and culture of the 20th Century. You will each be allocated one year from the 20th Century and you are expected to become the expert on the key cultural, social, political and media events during this year.

You will be required to produce a properly referenced presentation of approximately 5 minutes that conveys the important events of your allocated year. This presentation should include images and text, and end with a short bibliography.

Your presentation should be ready in week 4, please note this project is not aimed at assessing your presentation skills, it is designed to help you begin to understand how to research and reference and to give you and your peer group the opportunity to learn about the 20th century.
