MODERN HISTORY |
WRITTEN PRESENTATION: This way of presenting is a bit in-depth. You will produce a written paper (max 5 pages) that covers your topic. Your written presentation should include a timeline on top of the first page, the most obvious events as well as some famous persons, and a bibliography. If you want to get a higher grade you also need to make sure that you use a few other sources (preferably books – not “net-sources”) and that you show a discussion around one of the most important points/events. |
GRADING AND EVALUATION: When you write a written presentation the following parts will be evaluated: |
| 1. Content – Have you chosen the important events and characters of the given period? |
2. Timeline – All papers should include a timeline so we know what period we talk about. All major events of your period should be on the time-line as well as the more important individuals |
3. In-depth – You can write up to 5 A4 pages about your topic. Make sure you try to cover as much as possible (with other words use the five pages well) |
4. Structure – Since you have more space it’s important that you have a good structure. It should include an introduction, main body that includes the important events/characters, etc… and in the end a short summary. You should also have a bibliography
|
5. Analytical – A written presentation could and should be more analytical. Make sure you discuss some significant event and come with some conclusions about the whole period |
| 6. Fluency – You have time to check your language. Make sure that you do that… |
| GRADES: |
G: WRITTEN PRESENTATION: The student has used the course literature and basically just relates to what has been written in this book even though the text been adjusted. There is some sign of an attempt to organize the material but it’s not completely clear. The presentation form is OK but more effort could have been done to make it more interesting. No extra effort has been made to point out interesting historical questions and/or different interpretations of certain events. The work is narrative without any real reflections. The bibliography is incomplete or non-existent. |
VG: WRITTEN PRESENTATION: The student has used more than just the course literature which is detectable in the text. The organization of the work is in general good. It has an introduction, a main body and a conclusion. Some efforts have been made to point out interesting historical questions and/or different interpretations of certain events. The student also shows that he/she can reflect a bit on the period as well as describe the general development (narrative description). The bibliography is complete. There is an attempt to organize the sources. |
MVG: WRITTEN PRESENTATION: The student has used several different sources which is clearly visible in the work. The organization of the presentation is good and it shows creativity as well as deeper knowledge. It has a clear introduction, a main body and a conclusion.

The written text shows a good ability to reflect on different events and changes – it’s more analytical. The work done reveals a substantial effort and reveals great knowledge.
