Instructions for February 10th Project

Six-weeks Project: Due on February 10^th

There are two parts to the assignment; a one-page paper on a connection between two things we’ve covered in class and another one-page paper in which students take one event out of the timeline and predict the outcome.

A.  Choose one assignment from the following list of connections and write a 1-page paper; also include a visual representation (picture) along with your paper:

1.      What is the connection between the Magna Carta and the U.S. Constitution?

2.      What is the connection between the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut and the U.S. Constitution?

3.      What is the connection between the Virginia House of Burgesses and the U.S. Constitution?

4.      What is the connection between the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution?

5.      What is the connection between the French and Indian War and Colonial Taxes like the Tea Act, which led to the Boston Tea Party?

6.      What is the connection between Jamestown and Plymouth?

7.      What is the connection between Columbus and the 13 Colonies?

8.      What is the connection between Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson and political parties?

B.  Choose any event from our timeline and remove it. Then, in a one-page paper, predict the outcome. In other words, what happens as a result? For example, if Jamestown wasn’t founded in 1607, what happens to the country as a result of the first permanent English colony being founded at Plymouth in 1620? What effect does this have on our country’s history? Write a one-page paper and include a visual representation.
