    18th c. European Economy, Society, and Culture Group Presentation Project

    Purpose:

    Rather than read all 60 pages of Chapters 18 and 19, you are

    instead going to be responsible for reading, comprehending, and

    teaching the class a section from one of the two chapters.Moreover, this assignment will also serve as an opportunity to do

    some focused historiographical research, as you group will find

    at leasttwo divergent scholarly perspectives on the same topic

    and present on those differing arguments, offering some

    interpretation as to whythose scholars disagree on the same

    general topic.

    Process and Assignment Expectations:

    1. Everyone in the group must individually READ the

    assigned pages, WRITE a set of GUIDING QUESTIONS thatcomprehensively addresses the major points of those

    pages, ANSWER those questions, and UNDERSTAND fully

    your assigned section. Everyone must be prepared to (a)

    TEACH the information, and (b) ANSWER QUESTIONS

    about it.

    2. Before embarking on your research, presentation work,

    and handout, your group needs to develop and write

    down an equitable, fair, and meaningful plan for how you

    will divide the labor of the assignment. The division of labor document will be on a separate sheet of paper.

    3. Though you must read and answer the questions your group drafted individually, the presentation is a

    GROUP EFFORT that is, all of you must work together to produce one cohesive presentation for your

    assigned section. All members must contribute equally to the development of the presentation, and all

    members must participate equally in the presentation itself.

    4. The presentation CONTENT should address all of the guiding questions your group wrote and must also

    explain the particular details of a scholarly interpretive dispute over some aspect of the material you

    covered.

    a. In researching for this part of the assignment, the key question that you need to keep in mind is:

    **What is one major disagreement or difference of interpretation that historians have about thisparticular topic? In other words, why do historians see this same event or topic as significant for

    different reasons?**

    b. When finding sources, taking notes on them, and considering their divergent arguments, you

    must draw exclusivelyon scholarly book and journal sources. I strongly recommend using JSTOR,

    Questia, Google Books, McKays Suggested Readings list, and the like. For books, focusing on the

    introduction can be the best way to identify an authors argument.

    5. The presentation FORMAT can vary: you may use the whiteboard, Google Presentations, or another form

    of media that you clear with me. The selected format should be effective for teaching the material.1 I also

    encourage you to spice up the presentation with enthusiasm and creativity.

    a. If youre looking for resources on how to deliver strong presentations, I encourage you to consult

    the following links:

    http://www.cgu.edu/pages/862.asp

    6. The presentation LENGTH should be no longer than 20 minutes.

    7. Your group must produce a HANDOUT to go along with your presentation. This should be a maximum

    of 1 page (1 side only) long, and it should help your classmates understand and retain the information

    you are presenting. When creating the handout, consider the guiding questions your group drafted and

    how to include information about the specific authors, sources, and arguments that reveal an interpretive

    disagreement over the material.
