Napoleon vrs Hitler - Fight!
First Draft: The Grand Plan
Assigned: Nov 8, 2022 - Due: Nov 10, 2022
This is the first foray into essay writing, but I don't want an essay, I want questioning to happen. There are three major questions asked in the assignment. Your job is to take those questions and break them down into smaller and smaller questions that drill down into what we need to collect information on to know about and compare these two leaders.
Eg: What will you talk about that describes their rise to power: break down into:
Eg: What will you talk about that describes their rise to power: break down into:
- How did each of them feel about becoming powerful when they were younger?

Grade 9: Pre-WW1: Here Goes the Neighbourhood
•Imagine the area of Europe pre-WW1 around Germany, France, Britain, and other such countries.
•Now, picture them as a neighbourhood, with houses full of families as those countries
•Imagine an event that can cause conflict that has happened in that time period between two of the countries that I supplied
•You are writing a story where the police have come to interview people about what happened, and the nosy neighbour tells all
•The events of the conflict are changed in the story as more like a conflict between families over land, houses, behaviour, money, etc. using metaphors and such in place of the actual events, but it should be a good fit. (If a country has to pay reparations for war, then then a family owes money other for damages. If there is an armed conflict, maybe it's a fistfight, etc.)

Grade 10: Rummaging Through the Garbage of Human History
This is a group presentation. All three grade 10 students are working together on the final presentation, but each had their own parts that are individually marked. You are alien archaeologists who are investigating 1983 and the near-nuclear war between the US and the USSR.
Each person has an aspect of the presentation- they each get two slides with one word or picture on it, and must make three points for each slide. After the presentation, the audience of other aliens will be able to ask the experts on the events in question.
