I'm about to fail AP European History (tomorrow's my last day of school), but my teacher told me he'll pass me if I show enthusiasm and desire to pass. Basically, he wants me to think of something creative and informative about European History or something that will help his class next year. Well. So far I've got nothing. I really can't think of any suggestions that are European History related.... I thought of typing up a bunch of questions and taking a lot of notes...but that really doesn't show much of anything. I don't really mind if I fail the class since I'm already in college, but I would rather not fail the class...
So does anybody have any suggestions for what I could do to help my grade? He gave me such a vague idea of what to do that I can't really think of anything. I'm not creative in the very least.
Thank you!
(And thank you Yumi for letting me use your account!)

Well, I don't know if your school does this already, but our school does Jeopardy? The questions are difficult, and it's basically helping you stay on top of things. We also have mock trials... *shrugs*

Not sure if this would be too late, but in my 9th grade history class we did some really cool things
Russian Revolution play involving the whole class: it was insane when I did it because it HAD to involve the whole class and we only had 2 days to prepare
Cold War (you could change the topic) spy game: the class is broken into two teams. Your goal is to research about the topic and come up with questions to ask your opposing team on the final day of the project. The key part is that in each team there are a few spies in your team that would help the other team. Only the leader of each team knows who his/her spies are, and you don't want to let everyone know if you're a spy because if someone correctly turn you in then you're out of the game (and your team gets points deducted). It was sooo crazy because our goal was to try to get all of the other teams' questions so that we would know the answers in advance and score the points. People had such crazy techniques.
Another thing we did was that we were in teams and had to draw out one question (again, just choose any topic) at a time from a basket. Then we hurry and research it, come up with the right answer, and move on to the next. The goal was to be the first team to finish. It was so hilarious because we were running & shouting all over the library. XD
