Assignment Overview

What We’re Doing

In this lesson, you will make a presentation about a decolonization movement. A decolonization movement is when people worked to become free from another country’s control.

Your Task

You will create a presentation with 5 slides using ThingLink. ThingLink lets you make slides that people can click on to see more information.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Take the information you found in your research

2. Put this information into 5 slides

3. For each slide, include at least 1 picture that matches what you’re talking about

4. Make sure your slides show:

   • Important events that happened

   • Important people involved

   • How the movement changed things

Why We’re Using ThingLink

ThingLink is a tool that lets you:

• Add pictures to your slides

• Add voice recordings if writing is hard

• Make your presentation look nice

• Organize your information in a way that makes sense

How This Helps You Learn

This project helps you:

• Put information together in a way that makes sense

• Create something new from what you learned

• Use pictures to help explain your ideas

• Tell a story about something important that happened in history

Getting Help

If you need help with ThingLink:

• Ask your teacher to show you how it works

• Look at example projects

• Remember there are no wrong ways to create your presentation - just make sure it includes the information about your decolonization movement

Your presentation doesn’t have to be perfect. What matters is that you share what you learned about your decolonization movement in a way that makes sense to you and others.
