Autopsy of an Empire

These are some of the Autopsy of an Empire projects that my students did last year during the Fall. They are from my WHAP class. With the course being cut in half (essentially, it's now from 1200-current), I will end up doing it later in the course on the Gunpowder Empires. These projects were displayed in our school library for months. I didn't want to take them down because the kids were so proud of them. Don't you think they are creative? I know there are a lot of picture's but I can never decide which one I like the best. I even had one student make one that was life sized! These projects have different sections such as the head, hands, heart, feet, legs, etc. Each one stands for something different. For instance, the pen is where students should have written about writings or laws of the empire such as Quipu.

Shower Curtain Review Project

In an AP class, the review at the end of the year can be brutal! I found this wonderful activity from the WHAP Facebook group I am in and it's amazing. Students must review all six time periods and put it on a shower curtain. Each time period has a map, SPICE chart, diagrams, etc. My students really enjoyed it and felt that they got a lot out of the project. I do this as an end-of-year review project instead of a Final Exam. I'd love to hear your feedback on them!

We hung them out on the fences and students were paired together and peer graded one time period on each shower curtain. It was windy!  Fun Fact: Our principal LOVED them and actually borrowed a couple to cover the speakers at graduation!
