Humanities
Booklet on Ottoman Empire
This quarter, humanities focused on the empires and Indonesian history. One of the major projects we had was a booklet about different empires. The empire that was assigned to me is the Ottoman Empire, an empire that is now known as Turkey. The Booklet had to meet the specifications (seen below) to achieve a full mark. This is one of my best works because it is the first major project of the quarter and school year, and because of the effort I put into creating a hand-made booklet that was neat and legible and different from the previous booklets that I have created. Never before have I attempted to create a booklet that would stretch a distance if opened instead of being flipped. This project was also a great trial for me to see what Mr. Josh (my humanities teacher) wanted and required from our work. I did this project with my heart and the product was a booklet that met most of the requirements and was hand-written but neat and looked professional.
What I think I did well in this project is that I was able to tell about history in an interesting and colorful way that was able to most of the specifications. Another part that I think I did well was learning how to enjoy the creating process, which was fairly long but enjoyable. What I would improve next time is cover the points that I had missed to improve my score and my personal knowledge on the Ottoman Empire. In this project I showed the IB Learner Profile Knowledgable because I was able to apply my knowledge on an empire and combine it with my knowledge of [creative] booklet making to produce a product that I am proud of.
