European History Homework 9
Choose One of the following tasks and have it ready for next class
1. Be an artist: Draw a picture of a French leader from the 1500s. It could be a portrait or the leader in action. Keep in mind how they dressed and what the environment would have looked like. The picture will be graded on content not artistic skill. The more elements in the picture the better.
2. Be an investigator: Research French palace life. What was it like to be a king, queen, prince, or princess in the 1500s? Photocopy or print off a picture French monarch's home. Create margins and detail with written descriptions of what the elements in the picture are.
3. Be a writer: Write a one page paper on William of Orange. What was he like? What role did he play in the Netherlands? Did he always have a good relationship with the Sea Beggars? Don't focus as much on spelling, though you should try to answer as many who, what, when where, and whys as possible.
4. Be a builder: Build a model of the Spanish Armada's defeat at the hands of the English. This will involve multiple ships and an areal view is recommended. Make the ship small and out of sticks, toothpicks, Popsicle sticks, glue, rope, wood, and or floral foam. Do a little research to see what battle would have looked like. Also keep in mind not to make it so big that it would be difficult to bring into class.
5. Be a Bible scholar: The Bible speaks out against witchcraft, but what does it say about those who falsely accuse others? Is there a punishment for them? Write a page on what the Bible says on this subject and explain how Europeans should have handled The Great Witchcraft Trials. Don't focus as much on spelling, though try to be as informative as possible.
