Nationalism in the Real World
This lesson allows students to explore the idea of nationalism by finding a relevant example based on their interests. This lesson builds on a previous class discussion where I asked students to define what they felt the key attributes of nationalism. They then had to find an example that fit each of the attributes we chose. I had students choose historical events, tv show fandoms, and even sports teams! It was really interesting to see the connections they made to a somewhat abstract concept. |

Procedure: |
Activity 1:
Activity 2:
-
Share the Nationalism in the Real World handout with students.
-
Instruct them that they will be researching their own example of nationalism.
Be sure to explain that their example does not have to be something historical, only something that they feel fits the key attributes of nationalism.
-
Students should begin the activity with a brainstorming period, trying to come up with an example of nationalism outside of what we have studied in class.
Once they have come up with an idea, they should be using their laptop or device to conduct research on their example.
This research will help students complete the Nationalism in the Real World handout
-
Once they have completed the Nationalism in the Real World handout, students should summarize their chosen example in one slide on Google Slides.
Students need to include at least one relevant image or video in the presentation.
