Task 2

With a partner, you will be creating a power point presentation for the museum display on one of the topics listed below.   Use the linked websites to find images related to your topic.  Place each image on a separate power point slide, including text that explains how your image clearly reflects the worldview of the Edo or Meiji period.  Your power point should include 4-6 images with supporting information.

(Michelle, we can link the project topics to separate pages that contain both topics and websites if it works.  Ask Anne what she would like)

Step 2

Topics for Edo

Military
(Anne, you can put hyperlinks to information after each topic.  If there are enough images, one hyperlink per topic should do.  Please add more topics if you think they are relevant.  I came up with this quickly.  Delete any you can’t find images for, or I will help you find images.)
