History Assignment

You will need to complete assignments for this class. These assignments are based on short primary source reading documents. For each one you will need to read it closely, and then answer the questions on the bottom of the reading sample. Remember, these are supposed to be thought provoking questions, and each answer should be detailed and expressive.

Each assignment will be turned in through Safe Assign. When you finish, you will click on the green checkmark that says “Turn in Assignment” and follow the directions. It should be very simple.

As far as grading goes, you will not be graded on grammar, rather on content. These are not formal papers, but simply reflection pieces. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Here are some specific do’s and don’ts:

1. DO NOT include the reading sample in your submission. I only want the answers turned in. I will deduct points for this.

2. You should write the question, then answer it. Don’t combine the answers into one long answer.

3. Answer in your own words. There is no need to go to any other source material. Just tell me what you think.

4. Spend some time thinking about your answer. Don’t just throw an answer together and slap it down on paper. Put some thought in your answer.

5. Don’t ask me how long every answer should be. The answer is simple: long enough to thoroughly answer the question. None of the questions I have asked can be answered in less than a paragraph.
