Choice I: You were born in the year 1750, tonight is your hundredth birthday party (woo hoo!) So of course you must give a speech! Yes, this is in the first-person, use “I” consistently. You were born in (pick one!) the Ottoman Empire, Haiti, the Hapsburg Empire, France, England, Spain, Brazil, Italy, or the German States. Include in your speech all of the major events of your life, feel free to be creative and travel a lot, but use at least 15 terms from the review list and underline them.

Choice II: Write a dialogue between two nationalists from different countries (choose between England, Spain, France, Brazil, Mexico, Italian states, German states, or Russia) and have two of them meet to argue over whose country is better. You must include at least 15 terms from the review list and write it out as a dialogue (like we discussed in class). Please remember to underline the terms.

Choice III: You are a revolutionary fighter in France, you have received letters from radicals in Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Italian states, and German states asking you what is going on in France and how to spread the revolutionary fever to their countries. You send each a postcard (5 cards total) explaining what they need to do and address it to their specific situations, including at least 15 terms (please underline them) from the review list. Extra points will be earned for creating images on the post-card.
