Assignment - Global Networks
For this assignment, you will create a slideshow based on some of the ideas contained in a video that you will watch.
Step 1
Watch the video, Globalization I - Crash Course History, below. Notice when narrator John Green draws your attention to a t-shirt, which happens to be merchandise for the Crash Course History series. You will have to understand that he does not merely include the t-shirt for promotional purposes. Instead, it operates as a symbol of globalization itself.
Step 2
Your slideshow will answer this question: In what way does the t-shirt in this video represent and explain globalization?
Your exploration of this topic will include the following:
- Globalization includes winners and losers and it always has.
- Textiles have a long history within global trade.
- Understanding globalization requires understanding global supply chains and having access to shipping channels.
- The story of globalization is also the story of industrialization, technology and their developments
Step 3
Create your slideshow using this format.
- Title slide with presentation title, your name and the date. This slide could include an image.
- Introductory slide in which you introduce the entire topic
- Main body of 5-7 slides in which you cover the points above in the best order for maximum impact. Each slide must have at least one image that helps to explain your exploration of the topic. You must make direct reference to what is said in the video and may reference the course materials in this section.
- Concluding slide in which you summarize and wrap up your topic.
This will be marked according to the rubric below.
