A HISTORY MAGAZINE.

You are going to become a history journalist!!!


After a term full of history lessons. We are going to investigate about the history of our area.  And publish an article and create a  History Magazine in the class.

The article will have five parts:
  • Title (It should be atractive, not just the name of the Historical period)
  • Historical context of the period, some short information talking about history.
  • Documentary about this period. (It should be an storytelling about daily life in this historical period)
  • Brief summary about what happened in our area (Aguilar de Campoo)
  • The authors and from which websites or books you took the information (the bibliography).
As we have done in all the tasks it is very important to follow the process and the following steps:

1. We will divide the class into 9 groups (most of them will be pairs and some will be threes)
      • Prehistory. 
      • Preroman times.
      • Roman Times
      • Visigothics.
      • Muslims.
      • Christian Kingdoms.
      • Catholic Monarchs and XVI century.
      • XVIII Century.
      • XIX Century.
2. Let's review all the history posts to look for information about your history period. 

3. Write a short summary for the HISTORICAL CONTEXT  with the most important facts.

4. CREATE a documentary or "storytelling" about life in the historical period:
5. With the following links INVESTIGATE and WRITE a paragraph about this historical period in our area of Aguilar de Campoo. 
6. You will create your article for the Magazine. We are going to use a new app to  create it:


This video will help you to know how to deal with it: 
(It was done by @jferna35)



Your teacher will say to you what page of the magazine you have to do and also the username and the password to enter in your class magazine.

7. Each member of the group will write a post in the kidblog as it was a page of the magazine. And send it to the teacher through the EDMODO. 

8. EVALUATION:
  • We are going to have 100 points.
  • 50 points will be used by the teachers. (Using the rubric)
  • 28 will be used by self-evaluation. (Using the rubric, it is individually)
  • 22 will be used by the teamwork. (Give out maximum 22 points to each member of the group)

  • You are going to create a paper as draft. You have to include:
    • Your name and members of your group.
    • Your self-evaluation with the rubric. (Maximum 28 points)
    • Your teamwork's points. (Maximun 22 points)

The 19th Century of Spain.

In this video you will know a bit more about one of the most important characters during this century: FERDINAND VII.

 

THE SPANISH WAR OF INDEPENDENCE.
  • In 1808:
    • Napoleón Bonaparte, the Emperor of France, invaded Spain.
    • The King Ferdinand VII was forced to abdicate.
    • Napoleon's brother, Joseph Bonaparte, became king. 
    • Opposition to his reign led to the Spanish War of Independence.
  • The Spanish parliament, or Cortes, took refuge in Cadiz. In 1812 they wrote the first modern Constitution, the Constitution of Cadiz (La Pepa).
      • It limited the king's power.
      • It stablished the right of citizens, including the vote for 25 year-old men. 
THE RESTORATION OF FERDINAND VII:

  • In 1814 Ferdinand VII was restored as King. Initially, he did not accept the Constitution and he ruled in an authoritarian manner.
  • In 1820 Ferdinand VII was forced to accept the Constitution after the revolt. Three years later he was restored as an absolute monarch with the help of the French. 
  • The political chaos in Spain caused an independence movement in the Spanish colonies in Spain.
    • In 1824 all the American colonies except Cuba and Puerto Rico were independent. 
CONSERVATISM AND LIBERALISM:


In 1833, Ferdinand's daughter, Isabella II, came to the throne. During her reign there were conflicts between two groups:
  • Conservatives, they had traditional values, and supported an absolute monarchy. 
  • Liberals, they wanted reforms to modernise the country. They supported the Constitutions, and favoured limitations on the powers of the monarch. 
There were many coups d'etat by army officers and in 1868 Isabella was exiled. 

In 1873, the First Spanish Republic was proclaimed, but it lasted less than a year. In 1874, the monarchy was restored under Isabella's son, Alfonso XII. 

LET'S PLAY WITH THIS ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW THE LESSON.
