With your group write a short history of the world. You have 20 minutes to write a minimum of 200 words. Don’t worry about being “right” or “wrong." You can include any people, any places, any inventions - ANYTHING that is part of the history of the world. Try to identify 3-4 MAJOR moments in the history of the world. Each group's history will be read to the class.

- Draw Your History
Take 5 minutes to draw a “history of you”—your own personal history. This won’t be graded, and you shouldn’t get stressed out about whether you’re a good artist. You can use text to label your pictures, stick figures for people, however you want to do it is fine.
