Precis Two Assignment - 400 words total (200 words per question)

Précis Guidelines

Guidelines for Précis: For each reading assigned for a week, you should write approximately one to two paragraphs telling me some of the important aspects of each document, as well as the who, what, where, when, and perhaps most importantly, why the document is important and how it fits into the themes and ideas we have been learning in class. Do not summarize, though you should bring up key points. Each précis must be at least 400 words and include a word count. There will be a 10-point deduction for not including a word count. An example of a précis can be found on Canvas under “Pages.”

Please note: all of the information should come from your understanding of the documents themselves, NOT outside sources.
