As a goal, we will be creating a class wikispace on famous historical figures that you can use as a final review for an AP History Exam or Western Civilization final exam. A list of approved topics appears on the home page for your convenience. Above is a check sheet with due dates to keep you on track. Your class period we will focus on assembling data on a certain time period of western civilization and the significant figures in that period. Each figure should include pictures; biographical time line; major achievements, thoughts, or statements; explanation of how the social, political and economic background of the time period affected them; embedded technology (slide share, podcast, video clip, voicethread, imovie); works cited, and 10 multiple choice questions (or a game) based upon the information presented.
