Directions

In this assignment, you will submit your final paper. Your final paper must be 5–7 pages of text, plus a

title page and APA-formatted reference page. You may include properly cited graphics, such as

pictures, maps, and graphs if you like. You must use and cite at least 5 scholarly sources; Wikipedia,

encyclopedias, and websites that are intended for a general audience are not scholarly sources. You

may supplement the 5 scholarly sources with news articles.

For the Course Project, write about a historical event between 1865 and the present day from the

perspective of a historical figure who participated in the event. Here are some examples:

The March on Washington from the perspective of Martin Luther King, Jr.

September 11th 2001 from the perspective of George W. Bush

The attack on Pearl Harbor from the perspective of Franklin D. Roosevelt

The ratification of the 19th Amendment from the perspective of Alice Paul

The Cuban Missile Crisis from the perspective of John F. Kennedy

You will need to research not only the event, but also the historical figure, and write the paper "in

character." Your final paper must be 5–7 pages of text, plus a title page and APA-formatted reference

page. You must include properly cited graphics, such as pictures, maps, and graphs if you like. You

must use and cite at least 5 scholarly sources; Wikipedia, encyclopedias, and websites that are

intended for a general audience are not scholarly sources. You may supplement (not replace) the 5

scholarly sources with news articles. Be sure to check out the New York Times and other newspaper

databases included in the FSCJ library catalog.
