2. Part I Directions and Advice
Your goal is to create a series of slides which describes the process of how England went from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. In essence, you are creating a storyboard of key events, ideas, and people.
Before creating the slides, think about creating an outline, timeline and/or storyboard.
Each slide must contain a minimum of 1 illustration. The purpose of illustrations are to give the reader a deeper understanding of your message. Illustrations are not just pictures of famous people. They can include graphs, charts, political cartoons, graphic organizers etc.
Choose your words carefully. Remember this is a slide presentation and not an essay!
There is no minimum or maximum number of slides. However, the project must include all of the key terms, people, and events (listed on the next slide).
This is not a research project. All information should come from class resources. Check homework site or ask teacher to review any handouts.
