Today’s post is a pure brag about my teen students. I gave them the following assignment, which they had a week to complete:
Read the linked History.com article, Six Reasons Why the Ottoman Empire Fell. Choose one of the topics and:
- Research and prepare a presentation of your learning for class. Open choice of format: Google slides, Flipgrid, poem, puppet show, collage, the sky’s the limit!
- Find at least three additional sources, cite and annotate them and submit them in Classroom as a separate document.
Here are samples of the work they created:
Military Aspects (bibliography)
Rivalry with Russia (bibliography)
Lack of Advancement (bibliography)
When I am ready to tear my hair out with frustration about their adolescent behavior, I will return to this snapshot of their excellence, not only academically but as spectacular human beings.
