Your written requirement will be a History Journal which you will submit 3 times during the term (refer to the schedule/calendar for recommended due dates). You can write about whatever you want, but it is best to use the textbook to study with. Your writings, each time you submit them, will consist of 10 separate journal entries (30 by the end of the course). Each entry:
will contain a minimum of 120 words,
will consist of a summary, paraphrase, synthesis of material you are reading/studying in this course. You will, of course, be reading your textbook at a minimum, but I encourage you to read collateral historical writings on topics being studied.
must be written in your own words–do not quote verbatim the words of a published author, and will contain the subject matter you are learning–not whether you agree or disagree. Our study involves, first and foremost, learning the nation’s past and doing that requires study of previously published studies.
Grading Criteria For EACH Time You Submit your Journals (3 times):
Are there ten entries?
Is each entry a minimum of 120 words?
Does each entry pertain to United States history from 1877?
Do the entries appear to me to be written in the student’s own words?
Each set of journal entries will be have the value of 50 points, or 150 points total.
If you submit only half the required length and number of journal entries, then you will receive half the points available.
Each journal entry may be on separate topics OR you may wish to write two or more journal entries on a single topic.
FOR YOUR AND FOR MY EASE, please number your entries by heading them Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3, etc.
When submitting your first set of journal entries, title your file as 1st Set of Journal Entries.
The 1st set of Journal Entries should deal with subjects covered in Chapters 16 21.
Note: For each Journal: make sure to submit all 10 entries before clicking the Submit button. If you only submit some (or one) entry and want to come back to it click the Save button. Once the Submit button is clicked, that assignment is locked and cannot be accessed again.
Here is an example of a single journal entry:
Entry 1. Declaration of Independence
What was the Declaration of Independence all about? It was written by Thomas Jefferson but was probably not signed on July 4th, 1776. It was written after hostilities had broken out. Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill had taken place a year earlier. Why so late? The reason might be that the colonies were not yet united in their response to Britain. Many did not want to leave the empire only a few years earlier they had boasted about. Also, taking on the powerful British empire with trained troops seemed almost impossible. Several of the condemnations in the declaration were not true, and they were addressed to King George III rather than Parliament, which had the real power. It is quite possible that the colonial leadership did not want to attack a representative institution even though it was hardly representative of the people of Britain. Still, the declaration won widespread approval and helped to unite the colonists.
Note: This entry is more than 120-words, but that figure is a minimum number of words. It also does not matter whether I agree with what you say. My concern is that you have read and thought about the material. Please use these to help study for the exams.
