Learning goals:
you can explain an event from the Dutch revolt from different viewpoints (the different sides in the conflict of the Dutch Revolt).
Step by step instructions:
1. You and a classmate choose an event. Check with your teacher if this is OK.
2. Next, you search for sources about this event. Start with the book, then find sources online. Find at least six and note down the URL (website link) in your work document.
3. Now, you will write a piece of text about this event.
The two main questions you try to answer:
Why was this such an important event in the Dutch revolt?
How did the two sides of the conflict experience/think about this event? (for example, the Spanish and the Dutch)?
To answer that question, you must find and describe the answer to the subquestions
- what was it?
- when and where did it happen?
- who were involved?
- why did it happen?
- what were the consequences?
Make sure that you describe the event from different points of view. For example: Philip II might experience things differently compared to his halfsister Margaretha of Parma.
For this, you use your book and the six sources.
4. Check your text for English grammar, punctuation and spelling.
Amount of words: 300.
5. Refer to the sources in the right way. Your teacher will explain this to you.
