My Social Studies 9 Final Project

SS9 Final Project Napoleon

For my final project in Social Studies 9, I had to work with a group (3-4 people) to make a presentation about a unit we did previously in the semester. My group and I got the topic “Napoleon”. Along with the presentation, there was a second part of it where you must create an interactive game with the rest of the class.

1. Communication- To create this project, I had to engage the audience and not bore them with my part of the presentation. At the same time I was making what’s on screen show how much work I have put into this project to the teacher.

2. Creative Thinking- To go along with this presentation, we also had to create a game for the audience to engage in. I knew everyone else in the class was thinking about preset games like kahoots. I thought about our project and thought as an audience member, it would be more interesting to play something different from the rest. We started to recreate the game “Family Feud” but also, we had to work within time constraints.

The project made me consider multiple skills ;however, I did come in with skills that would make the project making process smoother. Some of the skills include my power-point making abilities, creative thinking abilities, some of my best writing skills were shown in my slides of the presentation and I showed off my citing knowledge at the end of the power-point.

The end product came out great however, there were some bumps in the road while making the project. One of our group members didn’t understand what we were doing and thought they could copy and paste their part of the writing from Wikipedia. The person in question did not send their paragraph until the very end of making the project so we had to think fast when we found out that person was plagiarizing. We gave them a second chance and they wrote their paragraphs again. This caused everyone else in the group to work harder especially me since I was the one making the power-point, I had to pretty it up although, luckily we were allowed individual marks so I did not alter the other people’s work.
