Remember that Clio has two eyes. Here are the era categories and geographical locations with which you will work (yes, I’ve changed a couple of them):
- 1500-1550 Rome –> Spain [Polishchuk, Hopson, Nelson]
- 1550-1600 Spain –> England [Togias, Barker, Charles]
- 1600-1650 England –> Netherlands [Patterson, Bradt, Beresford]
- 1650-1700 Netherlands –> France [Metz, Hashemzadeh, Graham]
- 1700-1750 France –> Austria [Kleinman, Kellogg, Bodine]
- 1750-1800 Austria –> Ireland/Scotland [Cato, Lovell, Balian]
- 1800-1850 Ireland/Scotland –> British Empire (you choose) [Medish, Moynihan, Gladstone]
- 1850-1900 British Empire –> Germany [Balaban, Ross, Ward]
- 1900-1950 Germany –> Soviet Union [Jalota, Pasco, Larreategui]
- 1950-2000 Soviet Union –> Any Balkan state (you choose) [Villenueve, O’Shea, Campbell]
I ask that each group post a comment below that will contain your storyline thoughts, however sketchy or vague, so other groups can get a sense of where the plot movement is headed.
While the work must be graphic, you may choose to use photos rather than draw your panels by hand; each is acceptable (there is even an Apple program that will create a cartoon format using photos). The following elements must be present in your final product:
- The inclusion of at least TWO historical persons
- The mention of at least two significant dates
- An excerpt from a primary source (the document will be mentioned or footnoted)
- The appearance of one technological or intellectual innovation that appeared during the assigned period.
- At least six panels, but you may certainly have more.
