This document outlines a history project for students. It divides history into five periods: prehistory, ancient civilizations, medieval times, modern age, and contemporary age. Students will choose one of these periods to research. They will create a timeline of important events, explain one or two significant happenings, describe the people from that time period including aspects like clothing and daily life, highlight important cities or buildings and why they were significant, and note something that has changed a lot since then. Students will present their findings to the class and be evaluated on their English skills and organization.

1. FINAL TASK. HISTORY.
History is important. We all know our dad´s name, when we were born, where our grandma
lived, etc… All this information affects our lives but… Do we know about our ancestors. From
this moment on, we will live a fascinating learning about ourselves because everything that
happened in the past affects our present.
To start with we can divide History into five big periods:
 Prehistory.
 Ancient civilizations.
 Medieval times.
 Modern age.
 Contemporary age.
You will choose one of this periods and you will investigate at least about these aspects:
 A timeline with the most important events or at least the approximate number of
years included in the period.
 A brief explanation of one or two very important things that happened.
 People in that period ( you can talk about aspect, clothes, ways of living).
 Some cities or buildings that were very important and why.
 Something that have changed a lot.
 You can include a lot of things apart from all of this: Religion, children in the period,
cities, architecture, food...
I will post in the blog page http://inthemoodforsugus.blogspot.com.es/ a lot of links that
may help you to prepare your work. I will tell you in a few days what period are you going
to focus on, so be very attentive in class and take notes that may help you.
Remember that I will also evaluate English in your work and at the ed you will also tell the
class about it. I will pay special attention to these aspects:
 Use of capital letters, full stops…. And organization.
 Connectors will help you a lot ( First, then, when….. after that…… finally…., at the
beginning, at the end…..)
 As it is about the past, obviously you will use verbs in the past (remember that you
always need a subject).
 It should have clear ideas, so it is good if you write a heading and then, all having
to do with it.
 Include some drawings or photos.
 I appreciate that you take risks, this is your last project this year and I will love that
you apply everything you know about language.
 Be creative.
GOOD LUCK!
