Over the next few weeks you should prepare a personal project presentation on the Titanic. You will then present your project to the class on Thursday 15th June. I know some of you may already be sunning yourself somewhere hot on this date, therefore you may complete your project prior to this date. Please see me (or Mrs Hughes if you are in P5H) and I will organise a different presentation date for you. The criteria and task sheet for this task can be found below.
Titanic Personal Project Presentation
Learning Outcome: I can research a given topic and create a detailed presentation.
I can use primary and secondary sources selectively to research events in the past. SOC 2-01a
I can discuss why people and events from a particular time in the past were important, placing them within a historical sequence. SOC 2-06a
Skill for Learning
Application & Knowledge: I can apply my knowledge of a given topic to plan and produce an interesting presentation.
Skill for Work
I can organise my time and resources independently to ensure my presentation is completed in the allocated time.
| Background
To build further on your presentation skills you have to prepare a personal project to present to your peers. Presentations play a huge part in our learning and being able to present to your peers, with confidence, is a great skill to learn. |
| Task
What you need to know: Your personal project should be about the Titanic. You may choose any aspect you wish.
What you need to do: You can present your project in any way you choose. This might be in written form, a PowerPoint presentation, a booklet, a video or even a model. In other words, you have the choice to choose the way you feel will best help you to demonstrate your knowledge of your chosen topic. This project is all homework based therefore you need to think about the resources you will have access to: books, library, internet, personal accounts etc.
What you need to think about: You can use whatever you need to describe your personal project: photographs, videos, props etc. Try to think about why you picked this area for your project. What was it that interested you about it? Remember some people in class may know nothing about the area you have chosen to discuss, so you must explain it in detail.
How to get started: Get all of your ideas down on paper and then decide which ones are the most relevant and will best engage your audience.

Happy researching!
Mrs O’Neill
Over the last two days you have been presenting your Scottish Wars of Independence personal projects. For this task you were given the opportunity of presenting your research in any way you wished ………… and what wonderful ideas were on display!
We had models of the Wallace Monument, Stirling Bridge and a variety of castles, 3D maps, weapons and a very creative journey from Norway to Scotland. William Wallace in a kilt even appeared for a drama presentation. PowerPoints were created, posters were designed and research folders were produced. We even had a quiz to test everyone’s knowledge! Well done to each and every one of you. You certainly set the standards high.
Feedback for your presentations will be issued next week, from myself and one of your peers. Please remember to read your feedback carefully and act on it when you next present to the class.
Here are some photographs of you presenting and any models that were made.
We also took the time to look more closely at some of the models and their creators were able to discuss how they made them.
Today we began presenting our personal projects for The Scottish Wars of Independence. I was very impressed with the effort and standard shown today. Tomorrow we will complete the presentations and I am sure they will be just as good. Photographs will be posted soon.
As part of our topic you have the opportunity to show your knowledge and understanding of the Scottish Wars of Independence by presenting a personal project to your peers.
This is a long-term project which should be completed at home over the next 4 weeks. If you require any resources which I can source in school, please ask. Your completed project should be brought to school on Thursday 6th October as you will be presenting your information on this day.
Please find below the task sheet with all of the required details. A paper copy will also be issued in class.
| Learning Outcome
I can create a detailed presentation on and area of The Scottish Wars of Independence that is of interest to me. I can investigate a Scottish historical theme to discover how past events or the actions of individuals, or groups, have shaped Scottish society.
