History of the Palace of Versailles

 

Final Paper

 Final Paper

The student will submit a paper (about 8-10 pages in length, double spaced). The topic will -creatively- analyze and problematize one concept studied in class, incorporating elements from our readings, videos and class discussions. By the end of this course, the student must be able to create and support a hypothesis related to the French culture. The paper should have an introduction and a conclusion, and must quote at least 4 of the sources studied in class.

Museums - Activity

 

Here is what you have to do: you have to prepare a personal presentation about any item you find interesting in the Museum's catalogue. (Pick up 1, and only one, object from any of the two museums.)

It is an individual presentation, and it should take between 5 and 7 minutes.
You will have to present Friday - April 23. You can also add images, illustrations, a power-point, et cetera.

In your presentation you will have to mention, basically, the name of the author, the name of the work, and its date. You can also tell me why did you choose that work in particular: what is your point of interest about it. You can also relate the work (if you can) to your ideas for the final paper, or to your mini-paper.
