Instructions
for THIS Assignment
· All of the Good Habits for Evidence requirements remain. · Your goal is to understand the history well enough to teach it to someone (like your smart cousin). · You use only the textbook or my links as a source. ·
You write on ONLY 1 question from the 2 remaining. ·
You must cite the page numbers for the facts
you state from the textbook, but do that by writing (p. the number). · You write (handwritten neatly) on 1 page maximum. · You do this outside of class and turn it in to me on the date in your course schedule |
When you read, you identify significant and representative events. When you write, you select from those significant and representative events. You are not writing every fact in the textbook.
You can identify information about significant and representative events that you need to read about carefully by:
§ Using the index at the back of the textbook with the general words in the question
§ Using the quiz questions for this Unit to find specific words to use in the index at the back of the textbook
§ If those two things are not enough, I will provide Required Preparation to resources or to specific locations in the textbook
You will have two of these to choose from. You
write on either one. Notice that some of the questions let you use the same
information (such as on consumerism or the Great Depression) for two questions.
