Historical Research: Asia
For this assignment, you will research the history of your chosen country in Asia (approximately 50 possible countries). You can’t choose to work on your home country or any country you have lived in; moreover, you are not allowed to choose Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and China. Choose one event that you believe to be a pivotal (crucial, important) event in the history of that country which occurred at least 50 years ago (before 1970).
You have the freedom to create a presentation using different presentation tools, but choose one that would best convey the historical event; however, the presentation should include the basic components that are conveyed below through the presentation rubric. The presentation should be between 15-20 minutes. This project is worth 25% of your final grade.
Find and use at least 5 sources. 4 sources will be secondary sources and 1 should be a primary source (such as a photograph from the time of the event, text of an agreement from the event, and so on). Make sure all sources are reliable!
