Step 2: profile

Learning goals:

You can describe how different people viewed the Revolt in different ways and why.

Step by step instructions:

 

1. You and a classmate choose an two people that were involved in the event you chose at step 1. Check with your teacher if the chosen people are ok, before you continue. Make sure you choose to people who were on opposite sides of the Conflict. 

 

2. Each of you now works seperately on one of the people, for which you create a historical profile.

Find three good sources about the person and note down the URL (website link) in your work document. Use your book as well, the past paragraph of chapter 2 contains valuable information about many people involved in the Dutch Revolt.

 

3. Now, you will write a profile about your person.

The main question you try to answer:

What was this person's view of the Dutch Revolt?

To answer that question, you must find and describe the answer to the subquestions

- What did the person look like? Find a proper picture/portrait (include the source).

- What was his/her full name?

- What did the person say? Find a historical quote from this person (include the source).

- What were his/her dreams/ambitions?

- What were the basic facts of his/her life? Write a small biography.

- What was his/her view of the event you chose? Describe his/her perspective.

- How was your person involved in the event?

- How did the event affect/influence your person? 

For this, you use your book and the three sources.

 

4. Check your profile for English grammar, punctuation and spelling.

 

5. Refer to the sources in the right way. Your teacher will explain this to you.

 

6. Check each other's work for content (did he/she answer all the questions?) and English grammar, punctuation and spelling.
