Week 5 - Final Project
If you are having trouble starting this
video, please access it here .
This course has taken you through the development of complex
civilizations from their origins in the river valleys of China and the Near
East through the global empires of the 16th century. Along the way, you have
considered patterns of interaction within and between societies that affect
political, economic, social, ethical, religious, and cultural systems. Now, for
your Final Project, you will have an opportunity to focus on two societies or
civilizations of your choice. You will do your own research to find relevant
scholarly secondary sources and primary sources, then develop an in-depth
analysis of the ways these societies or civilizations compare and contrast,
based on your assessment of the main overarching themes of the course and your
research findings.
The purpose of the Final Project is for
you to demonstrate the learning achieved in the course by creating an original
work based on your analysis of scholarly secondary sources (see the Scholarly,
Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources table for
assistance) and primary sources. The HIS103 Research Guide: Library Resources and
Primary Sources can be accessed through
your online classroom, and it provides links to relevant books, articles, and
primary sources.
Your original work can be one of the options in the list
provided below. You are encouraged to think openly and choose a format in which
you can express yourself most effectively.
Choose one of the options below to complete your Final Project:
·
A six-page research paper.
·
A 12-slide PowerPoint presentation (see How to Make a PowerPoint Presentation for assistance) or Prezi
that
includes detailed notes (see Create and Print Notes Pages for
assistance), or has audio recorded on each slide with a transcript of all audio
(see Record a Slide Show With Narration and Slide Timings for assistance).
·
A six- to 10-minute video production with a transcript. This
could be a recorded video of a presentation on the topic to YouTube (see Upload Videos: Android or Upload Videos: iPhone & iPad for
assistance) or a recorded PowerPoint through Screencast-O-Matic.
Note: Transcripts are basically your
scripts that you will read for your presentations, plus any additional dialog
and descriptive information that will help others understand your work clearly.
In PowerPoint, scripts are added as “Speaker Notes.” See this example for more information and the Print Speaker Notes reference for help in printing speaker notes as
transcripts.

In your Final Project, you must compare two different societies
or civilizations that we have covered in this class, within the time period we
have considered (ca. 5000 BCE—ca. 1600 CE). You will submit your project by the
end of the class. You will also have an opportunity to share your project with
your classmates in the Final Project Exhibition
discussion.
Refer back to your Final Project Preparation assignment that you completed in Week 3, in which you chose
two different societies or civilizations we have covered in this class, as they
existed in the time period we have considered (ca. 5000 BCE—ca. 1600 CE). For
this assignment, you will further expand the content areas covered in the Final
Project Preparation assignment and the HIS103 Final Project Help
Sheet by comparing and contrasting your
societies or civilizations in at least three of the following categories:
·
Gender Roles, Ideals, and Relationships: Assess
how ideal roles or qualities for men and women were expressed within each
society.
·
Social and Economic Structures: Assess
how each society defined different levels of socioeconomic status.
·
Religious or Ethical Beliefs: Evaluate
how core religious or ethical beliefs operated within each society.
·
Technological or Cultural Innovations: Explain
how unique technological or cultural innovations impacted each society.
In your Final Project’s comparative analysis, select two different
societies or civilizations within the time frame covered in this course. In
your paper,
·
Define clearly each society or civilization you are comparing
and the time period during which you are examining each society or
civilization.
·
Develop a distinct thesis statement that serves as the main idea
of your project.
·
Organize main sections of your work clearly according to the
categories that form the basis for your analysis.
·
Explain the historical context clearly within which you are
examining the chosen categories.
·
Compare and contrast the two societies in regards to the
significance of the similarities and/or differences that you find.
You are encouraged (but not required) to share your Final
Project with the class in the Final Project Exhibition Space (Optional)
discussion forum. If you have created a document (e.g., a paper, a PowerPoint
presentation, etc.), attach the file to your discussion post. If you Final
Project exists online (e.g., a video, a Prezi, a blog, etc.), paste the link
into the body of your discussion post. In the title of your post, include the
topic and the title of your project. While you are not required to respond to
your fellow classmates, you are encouraged to view all of the projects that
have been shared. The Final Project Exhibition is not a graded assignment and
participation does not contribute to your overall course grade.
Note: Transcripts are basically your scripts that you will read
for your presentations, plus any additional dialog and descriptive information
that will help others. See this example for
more information.
