Evaluation: Nothing less than your best

     You are to design your own project for evaluation. You and your partner may choose to present any kind of project that you can imagine. Your project could be a report, or you could rewrite a chapter in a history book. You can create a desktop presentation like a Power Point or Hyperstudio presentation. You can also present a dramatic skit, a song, or a news show. You could write a diary or letters. Anything you can imagine can be your product.

You must include the following in your presentation:

1. A web (can be verbal) that shows the connection between historic
    events. 
2. Describe the real events (cause) and describe what happened 
    because of those events (effect). 
4. Change the events, and describe the changes and the impact on the 
     world now.
5. Create another web predicting the changes that would occur.
