Major Assignment
Absolute Monarch Debate Project (the Jerry Springer Show) – Students will gather, read, and organize information to prepare for a presentation/debate. Students will summarize information on their own ruler as well as research and prepare questions for the other rulers. A summary will be handed in as a requirement and to justify their vote for the Best Monarch of the Time.
Even though the students are arranged in groups, they each choose their role and must do individual research and questioning. Points will be given for research, questions, summaries, presentation, and final poem.
