History 12 Summative Learning Project:
Create a Youtube video that summarizes your learning for this course. You may work individually or in groups as large as 4. The idea is to create an artefact that connects the different units, time periods and themes that you explored in this course. Your final product must be uploaded to Youtube and posted to your class webpages. How you produce your video is up to you, you may use still photos, remix or reuse archival footage, create your own scenes, or integrate slides from presentation software. The final goal is to produce an original and creative work that summarizes and connects everything you have learned in this course.

I n celebration of the life and achievements of Nelson Mandela, we are going to collaboratively create a timeline that highlights the memorable events in his life. Our final project is going to be presented using a shared Google Presentation, however you can create graphics for your slides using other tools such as Powtoons and export them using Youtube. You can communicate with each other, face to face, through Google Drive or using your student Gmail accounts. Finally we will view, peer edit and distribute the slide show using social media.
Learning Goals:
- To learn about and commemorate and important figure in 20th century history. - To collaboratively create and edit a shared project as a class. - To explore and use Web 2.0 tools (Google Apps, Youtube, Voicestream, student choice)
Instructions:
Step 1: Getting started: As there are 15 students in our class we are going to divide into 3 groups of 4. Each group will be responsible for 1 segment of Nelson's Mandela's Life. Follow the link below to the organizational Google Document and register yourself into a team. https://docs.google.com/document/d/15-yDrntOqLULbkpX4Xumn9PW0w2WqwRX0bqPMXuG3PQ/edit\ The class will be divided into 3 groups of 4 and Dylan will the 10th responsible for creating the document, the title and end pages. The first group will deal with his early life. The second group his middle life, and the last group will deal with the latter stages of his life. Please include your Gmail address, so we can start sharing access of our document. Step 2: Sharing the Presentation Dylan has volunteered to get us started. He will be responsible for creating the Google Presentation and Ally is going to co-ordinate the music for our slideshow, based on tributes created for Nelson Mandela. Merrina has volunteered to be our initial editor and communication co-ordinator. She will try to maintain consistency on the timelines so they don't overlap, make sure everyone is included and try to bring some consistency to fonts, sources and slide order. Once Dylan has shared the Google Presentation with the first person on the list, it is your responsibility to share it with the next person.
Step 3: Define the time periods I have purposely left out the dates for each section, so you must communicate amongst yourselves to determine them, once you have started your research. You may discuss as a group using the Google Document. Dylan will be responsible for writing in the final dates in the organization page.Within your groups, make your plan, and divide each period into smaller periods, you can add these to the Google Doc.
Step 4: Slide Creation Each class member must contribute 3 slides with images that represent important aspects of Mandela's life. Each slide should include key information for your period, including pictures and videos. You can use the standard features of Google Presentations, or upload a presentation to Youtube using a different tool such as Powtoons.com or Prezi, or any other tool that you think might enhance our presentation. You must be sure to include sources for your information, and images. .
Step 5: Due Dates You will have 2 classes to finish the rough draft After 2 classes we will view the presentation, and begin editing. Group 1 will peer edit, Group 2, Group 2 will peer edit, Group 3 Group 3 will peer edit Group 1 Make changes and check with Merrina We will meet to discuss the final presentation on Thursday, make any last minute changes and then View it as a class and then share it to the public. Step 7: Sharing Students are to individually upload the Google Presentation to the Project section of their Weebly sites. Each member of the class will receive the same grade, based on the quality of the final project, and their individual contributions. If you like, you can share the presentation on your own social media sites.
Step 8: Voicethread reflection Follow the link below to the Voicethread I have setup for Nelson Mandela https://voicethread.com/?#u4139477.b5254704.i26793377
