2011 Year in Review AssignmentWhat events from 2011 will become history?

What the students should know?- Contemporary events can be significant.- We are living history- Some events are past and some get to become history- History depends on who is recording and choosing. (perspective and bias)

- History is captured through iconic images and news. Some history is kept simply forthe images.

-How I know they know it:

- The event and significance are explained.- Students can articulate the impact of the event in a larger context (city-country,

country- planet)- Images selected have been reasoned through the explanation.

Part 1 explains what the event was. Using the 5 Ws might be the best approach fora straightforward explanation. Remember the first paragraph of a newspaper articlefrom grade 6.

Part 2 will be explaining WHY this event is important and should be remembered 50years from now. What changed or why is this event so important?

Part 3 Find the iconic images that tell the story of your event. Think of it as a storywith a beginning middle and end. What images or headlines could you use to tell thestory with the pictures? We might be able to understand most of the story using yourpictures alone without the audio.

Part 4 Create a simple poster for your event that will act as the Augmented Reality

Trigger to play your video. The poster should be the first layer of information thatshares the event, date and a short explanation of what happened. Using the iPads, ouraudience will be able to view your video as the Augmented Reality layer, which will tellthe whole story.
