I want to sign up for this project for an extra mark

1. YES
2. NO

For this project, you need to team up with one or two other 1st years students.

They can be classmates, but that is not necessary.

You need to be able to work well together and it is nice if you share the same intererests.

So, get your team together and then continue with the following steps:

History is not only about knowledge and learning. It is also about skills and doing.

With skills we mean things that you can do. Like making a graphic, a timetable, working together in a group, writing an outline, organising, planning, presenting information. 

These are just a few of the skills you have to learn and practise. You will need them in the following years and throughout your entire life.

In this project you should choose something that you really enjoy doing. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Build a model 

2. Make a film / documentary

3. Make a board game

4. Make a quartet card game

5. Make a map / groundplan

6. Make a podcast.

7. Your own idea?

Discuss this with your team, then continue.
