List-Group-Label Project
Below is a (lengthy) list of people, places, ideas and things. As you complete this world history course you need to learn what each of these items is and why it is important in the study of history. Your assignment is to do the "Group-Label" part of the project.
Group: As you learn about the items on the list you will start to see connections. As you do, please group the words accordingly. For at least five words in each group, you need to write a sentence explaining what it is and another sentence explaining why it is important.
Label: The final step is to look at the groups you have made and come up with a label or title for each group that explains how those words are related.
**There is no "right" way to group or label the words. However, the groups and labels need to make sense to you and to someone else who studies your organization. Generally, groups should have more than 2 items and not more than about 15. Some items might fit in two or more lists, but not all of them! Remember, the point is to show that you understand how these words work together. If you need to include other notes to help explain your process, please do so.
Grading
| A |
L-G-L is complete, neat, shows learning and pride in work. The grouping shows creative or unique thinking about the terms studied or includes items added by the student. |
| B |
L-G-L is complete and legible. Grouping makes sense or is well explained. |
| C |
All items are included in groups with labels that reference history. Groups like "People" or "Places" will not be accepted as they do not reflect HS level thinking! |
