Task:

Create a historical newspaper that covers three instances or areas that were impacted by European imperialism between 1870 and 1914. Areas which were impacted by imperialism include Africa, India, and Asia. In each area, the majority of the nations or territories were taken over by one or more European countries. Use the internet, the EBook Chapter 20 pp. 610-622, and/or the information in the Imperialism Learning Materials Module to help narrow your focus or topic. Then, research 3 areas or instances of European imperialism and create 3 news articles illustrating your knowledge.

Assignment:

1) Imagine you have been chosen to write 3 articles for a newspaper on Imperialism. Create a name for your newspaper. Include images and stories for each topic. (1 image per story). Use the internet and/or Chapter 20 in the EBook for additional research.

2) News stories should be written as if you lived during that time period. You have some creative license, but the newspaper must be based on historical facts. Information should be written in your own words! Articles should be a minimum of 3 paragraphs (Introduction, Body and Conclusion).

3) One of your 3 news articles must be an interview with a historical character from the same time period as one of your news articles.

4) News articles should have titles that grab the attention of the audience and a byline. A byline is a short phrase that indicates the name of the author.

5) Finally, your newspaper should feature 1 advertisement for an item developed between 1850 and 1914 to illustrate your knowledge of industrial developments which took place during that time period. The advertisement must feature an image of the item.

6) You may use the Newspaper templates available in Microsoft Word or any free web based service to create the newspaper.

7) See the newspaper rubric for grading details.

8) Include a bibliography or list of website URL’s used for research.

9) Examples of topics or areas for further investigation: the scramble for Africa, the British in India, the Boer War, etc. Note: these topics must be narrowed down.
