History of WWI at DCCC Online Assignment
One group of students is assigned to present a short primary source reading to the class each week. Groups choose their primary source from a link posted on the course internet site. The primary source must pertain to that week’s topic. The goals of the presentation are to summarize the reading and link it to that week’s topic. Each group member must contribute to the presentation. After the presentation, the group creates a page on the course internet site based upon their presentation. The page should include a thorough description of the primary source reading and its connections to class. Cutting and pasting information from other websites is not sufficient. Each page should include images, videos, and links to other websites. No two pages may include the same material. Pages will be graded on content and creativity. The online assignment is due at the end of the semester. An in-class tutorial will explain how to create a page on the internet site. It is each student’s responsibility to volunteer to participate in at least one group presentation during the semester.
