Job 1: Create a CHINESE TIMELINE that begins in 1899 during the Boxer Rebellion and ends in 1949 at the conclusion of the Chinese Civil War. To create this timeline, we’ll utilize the ReadWriteThink website. You need to include at least 8 events. These events must be formatted as follows:
- Title
- Context
- Significance
- You also must include an image for each event
Once you’ve completed your timeline, select finished! The next screen will allow you to download a PDF. Put a link to that PDF on your blog post. Here’s my example:
Job 2: Is to create a campaign poster for either the Guomindang or the Communists. Mr. Sturtevant provided you with ample original sources. Select one and then build a campaign poster off the information. The website we’ll use for this task is BeFunky. Your poster must have:
- 4 images
- text
- an explanation for each image and the text
