Journal #1 Instructions

In this course, you will complete a series of History Journal entries, which you will submit twice during the term. Refer to the Assignments and Course Schedule on Syllabus Page 2 for due dates.

Journal  #1

In this first journal activity, you may write about any topic(s) of your choice, but it is best to use the textbook to study.

·         For this activity, topics should address content covered in Chapters 16-21 in the textbook.

o    It is expected that, at a minimum, you are reading the assigned textbook chapters.

o    You are encouraged to read collateral historical writings on topics covered in the textbook.

                        This activity will consist of 10 separate journal entries; you will have a total of 20 entries by the end of the course.

                        Each separate entry should:

o    contain a minimum of 120 words.

o    consist of a summary, paraphrase, and synthesis of material you are reading/studying in this course.

o    be written in your own words - do not quote the work of others verbatim.

o    discuss the subject matter that you are studying - do not simply agree/disagree.

                        Your study involves, first and foremost, learning the nation's past; doing so requires a review of previously published studies, so you are encouraged to conduct research using outside resources, but be sure to draft your journal entries in your own words.

o    Direct quotations should not be used; citations are not necessary.

o    Do not copy/paste information from any source.

o    No citations
