Annotation

In this section, students process multiple different tasks. In the first, assign the right meaning to the terms. The terms are based on Marxist, Liberal and Nationalist narratives. After, assign the term to the right ideological narrative. Finally, briefly describe the same event from different points of view (Marxist, Liberal or Nationalist). On the basis of these activities, students are able to creatively think about the historical event, comes up with one's own ideas and original insights, are able to collaborate in a team and thus to accepts one's assigned role in a group, are able to both analyse, reflect and adjust one's own arguments concerning the historical thought and can apply the specific meanings of the “ideological” language.
