I am not asking for an answer to the question just an explanation to one of the questions, this is my task:
A. Create a multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote, etc.) in which you do the following:
1. Justify the historical significance of each of your two chosen U.S. historical events.
a. Explain how each of your two chosen U.S. historical events represents a different given historical theme.
b. Demonstrate how the historical facts of each event support the event’s associated historical theme.
2. Justify the historical significance of each of your two chosen world historical events.
a. Explain how each of your two chosen world historical events represents a different given historical theme.
b. Demonstrate how the historical facts of each event support the event’s associated historical theme.
3. Analyze how the thematic approach to the event/theme pairing contributes to your interpretation of each of the four chosen events.
All I need to know is what #3 is asking, it seems to me like its asking the same as 1a and 2a…anyone who can explain this for me would be awesome! #1 the two US ones I am doing on Martin Luther King Jr. for Social and Governmental changes and the Internet and how Americans shop online a lot. # 2 I am doing on The nile river developing human society by providing water and food to a desert region and the Mayans system of power, governance, and authority….if any of that information helps.
I know it is a lot of information to read but I really just need to know what #3 is asking in dumbed down English. I am trying to get a degree in math and I was never really good at history.
Here is only an attempt to grasp the meaning of the task.
In #1 you pick 2 evens from US history not at random, but since they will be in the same slide-show, somehow related. You will essentially pick 3 things here – Event 1, Event 2 and Theme connecting Event 1 to event 2. Columbus voyage and Ford’s assembly lines will be an unlikely choice – no connection, no common theme.
But you could pick Wilson re-elected President, US entering WWI as events and US Participation in WWI as a theme.
Alternatively, you could pick Wilson re-elected President, US entering WWI as events and Suppression of Civil Liberties in US during that time.
Question #3 is asking you to see that chosen theme affects your presentation greatly, because with "US Participation in WWI" your presentation will be about international politics, drafts, fighting in Europe and victory, while with the "Suppression of Civil Liberties in US" your presentation would be about progressivism, socialism, Bill of Rights and arrests for criticizing government.
Two very different presentations about the same 2 events.
Similar with 2 world history events.
