HIST1301

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 1 - 8 in the textbook. 

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

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

· This activity will consist of 10 separate journal entries ( JOURNAL #1 )

· You will have a total of 20 entries by the end of the course after completing ( JOURNAL #2 )

· Each separate entry should:

. contain a minimum of 120 words.

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

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 be written in your own words - do not quote the work of others verbatim.

. 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.

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

. Do not copy/paste information from any source.

. No citations
