Journal #2 Instructions 

In  this course, you will complete a series of History Journal entries,  which you will submit twice during the term. Refer to the Assignments  and Course Schedule on Syllabus Page 2 for due dates.

Journal #2

In this second 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 9 - 15 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; you will have a total of 20 entries by the end of the course.
  • !!!!! Please submit all ten entries at once and all in in one file!!!!  DO NOT submit one at a time nor as multiple files or as a zip file.  This makes it easier for you to submit and for me to grade. 
• Each separate entry should:     
  • contain a minimum of 120 words.
  • consist of a summary, paraphrase, 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  • be written in your own words - do not quote the work of others verbatim.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
