Frankenstien Empire
Description of Work/Assignment:
The Frankenstein project was structured around four prominent empires of the 1300s. The goal of the project was to study the four leading empires with our group; each group consisted of four people, and each person was assigned one of the empires which they needed to research thoroughly; then, as a group, you had to compile your favourite traits from each empire and then create your ultimate empire. The group also had to pick a place on a world map to place their ultimate empire that would support its needs; An example that I could show is that for our empire, we chose Italy because it helped our maritime power while also allowing our agriculture to thrive while still giving us inland to concur for space.

How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? |

How I improved upon my Global awareness skill through this project is through the research and presenting I did on it. I not only had to research my own part of the empire I also had to learn about the other 4 empires my teammates also researched. Giving me a now broad knowledge on early empires which ties into the global awareness skill.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently/what was most difficult?For me, an area of improvement for this project would be teamwork; although we each did work together, we did the bare minimum in that regard and focused on our own thing. Leaving us with some excellent slides and some mediocre ones. One person hadn't even added his work to our slide show, and some did almost nothing to add to our ultimate empire. This caused a few problems, which could have been easily avoided if we had communicated more as a team.
