LOP+1

=LOP 3=

Imagine what the world will be like in 2050. You will be an adult with families of your own perhaps. Knowing what happened during the past revolutions, how will you make your world a better and safer place to live. You and your group will use this final trimester to create and explain your plans for building a brave new world.

LOP 1
PRESENTATIONS ARE DUE ON THE LAST CLASS OF THE TRIMESTER. DO NOT DELAY. GET INTO YOUR GROUPS, ORGANIZE YOURSELVES, AND CONTINUE WHERE YOU LEFT OFF (see your student progress checklist)


 * Note:** Missing checklists and class material are not valid excuses for not working on the project. Each remember must organize their part of the presentation by end of class.

Speakers: write up queue cards Writer and Editor: Write up report for ruler to read Organizer: Assist team in organizing oral and written presentation

** Final LOP Trim 1: King’s/Queen’s Council **


 * Scenario: ** You are part of a young Asian king/queen’s council. Your ruler is facing several tough decisions due to growing unrest. While inflation has consumed much of the royal treasury, other problems have become inflamed. Several religious and cultural groups are making demands and are anxious for action. To make matters worse, neighboring countries are clamoring for war. If problems at home continue to intensify, defending the realm may be impossible. Your job is to help the struggling king/queen re-engineer his/her empire. You will need to renovate everything from the country flag to where the capital city should be located. To do this, you will need to use your historical knowledge and abilities to do research. Hint: There are plenty of examples to draw from in your textbooks. Review chapters 14, 15 and examine chapter 16.

Your group needs a **Speaker, Writer, Editor and Organizer**.
 * Speaker’s Job ** : help with research, coordinate with and introduce the plan to the ruler
 * Writer’s Job: ** help write up drafts for the final report
 * Editor’s Job: ** verify research and correct drafts for final report
 * Organizer’s Job: ** organize report for submission and submit final work to Speaker
