Peter the Great is known as being one of Russia’s strongest Rulers on their long and interesting list of Leaders. He did many great things for the Russians. He opened their country’s door to the West. He brought new technology to their communities. He even started their first newspaper… and guess who just got hired on as a journalist for their newspaper/broadcasting team? You!
Your assignment is to create an article or news broadcast about all the great things Peter the Great has done for your “country” Russia. This should be written as if you were in their time period and should follow the general structure of a newspaper article. You need to name and describe at least four things he brought to/did for your country.
Once again he is your Czar, and you do call him “Peter the Great,” so make sure you do a good job of making him sound like the best ruler EVER, you never know what may happen if you don’t…
You can submit this either as a written article with authentic title and one picture (one page long) or as an actual “news broadcast” filmed on one of the school’s cameras during class.
Alternate/Replacement assignment- Write a three page biography on Peter the Great on the theme of “Why Peter the Great is one of Russia’s most important rulers”. The paper must include a thesis, body and conclusion. Work that is copy and pasted will not be accepted.
