THE ASSIGNMENT
Complete at least one full set of Early Modern Europe Bubble Gum cards (ten cards in a set). At least eight should be chosen from the list below. You can focus on individual themes or pick and choose randomly from the entire list. Wrap up in a packet with bubble gum included and hand in to Dan. You are encouraged to complete more than one set, though one is all that is required.
THE PURPOSE
To introduce you to significant historical figures from the Early Modern period, and to ask you to relate these people to the times in which they lived.
CARD SPECIFICATIONS
I will provide 5"x8" file cards. You should spend at least half an hour researching each individual, using the internet and other resources. The front of the card should include 1) the name of the person at the top; 2) a picture in the middle; and 3) a short, interesting quotation from the individual at the bottom. The back of the card should include 1) the year of birth and death; 2) the place of birth and death; 3) a few sentences called "LIFE;" ; 4) a paragraph called "HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE"; and 5) a "FACTOID." The "HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE" section is the most important of the assignment. Although you will not have the space for detailed description, you should have room for a concise analysis that assesses this individual's place in the history of "Western Civilization." If discussing a philosopher, writer or artist, move here into an analysis of the central themes of his or her work. Keep the "LIFE" section to no more than a few sentences. Here, do not offer a full biography but rather highlight a couple of key points that help to make sense of the person discussed. Try to find an interesting fact for the "FACTOID." Use your own words on the back of the card.
TO DO AN EXCELLENT JOB ON THIS PROJECT
Take detailed notes and print off materials before thinking about finishing the cards themselves (this research can be handed in with your assignment). Do not stop with 10 individuals. Aim for 20. Complete the whole set! If you think the format as outlined will unnecessarily confine you, talk to me about the possible modifications.
