=Nationalism Wiki Projects=

All work must be completed online and you must include a bibliography page of all the resources you used.

The project must be finished by next Wednesday

Here is the rubric you will be graded on:


 * Unification Ad Campaign**

Convincing the multitudes of people from different state to unify into a single country was no easy task for Italy and Germany. There were many different ethnic, cultural, religious, political and economic hurdles to overcome. (Even the American Revolution faced long odds, with only a third of the colonists really wanting to break away from the British)

Your group has been retained to develop a PowerPoint ad campaign to tout the positives of unification. This ad campaign requires a creative spin on actual historical events which will persuade the undecided that unification is truly in their best interests.

Your ad campaign must include:

1 At least 5 separate PowerPoint slides linked together with a common theme The pages should empathize the benefits the people will receive by agreeing to unification and extol the people and historical events that led to unification. 2 Ideas grounded in historical facts but with a creative spin. You can not just make it up! 3 A jingle or catchy slogan to be recorded as a podcast 4 A short 60-90 audio ad, like you would hear on the radio, advocating unification which will be recorded as a podcast. 5 A map on one of the slides

You are going to have to use all the information we learned earlier in the week and seek out new info for this to work.

Look ad ads in the magazines and on line for ideas on format.


 * Unification Newspaper**

Newspapers were the primary, actually only, means of staying up to date with current event in the 1800’s. Your group has a star up newspaper that is trying to break into a crowded market with an all unification issue. You hope the recap of the steps to unification will attract new readers and turn them into loyal customers.

You newspaper must include

1 At least 5 separate wikipages. One “front page” linked to four different “sections” with stories about unification. 2 A front page with a title, date and tease the information being covered in the different sections 3 Four remaining pages that cover different elements of the unification, politics, economics, military, people, events etc 4 4-5 different “stories” per page with headlines and pictures based on historic events with a creative spin. 5 A short podcast interview with a historic person involved with unification 6 A short podcast detailing the events from one of the stories as it occurs. 7 A map somewhere in the wiki

Look to actual newspaper websites, [|www.boston.com], [|www.nytimes.com], etc for ideas on how to set up you pages.


 * Unification Trading Cards**

Extolling the Virtues of the Unification had to start at a young age. To convince children,( who will grow up to be adults) that unification was a good idea a series of trading cards has been commissioned. Like baseball cards or Magic or Yugio, the powers that be hope these cards will be collected and traded.

The set of cards must:

1.) include At least 15 cards each with a picture and short description 2.) deal with people, places, and events related to unification and follow a logical format 3.) tell the overall story on how the country was unified, use the 5-4-3-2-1 and other resources as a guide. 4.) Be creative and colorful 5.) Have at least two maps included. 6.) Include a short “audio trading card” relating a story or description of an event that led to unification as a short podcast. 7.) Include an audio advertisement for the trading cards set recorded as a podcast.

All work must be completed online and you must include a bibliography page of all the resources you used.
