Directions: Choose two of the following three and compare and contrast: 1. Holocaust 2. Vietnam 3. Any event of your choosing after 1900

Newspaper article: perspectives should be shown equally, at least one image, at least a page. Double-spaced 12pt font You may also come up with your own idea but it needed to be approved of prior. We have created all of these in previous units therefore you know are familiar with the format that is expected of you. It is important that students go beyond the connections that were already discussed in class.

Part II: Response Whatever project you choose you need to write up a one page response or description explaining the significance of both historical events, how they are related, and why you chose these specific events.

Part III: Presentations Each student will be required to present their project. Each presentation will be 5 minutes and needs to include the significance of both historical events, how they are related, and why you chose these specific events. There will be 10 presentations for each day. I will ask for volunteers first then I pick randomly for the order of presenting.

You will be receiving one day in class to work on these but outside classroom work is needed to be prepared fully.
