journal
Write journals on the following topics:
Each separate entry should:
o contain a minimum of 120 words.
o consist of a summary, paraphrase, and synthesis of material you are reading/studying in this course.
o be written in your own words - do not quote the work of others verbatim.
o 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.
o Direct quotations should not be used; citations are not necessary.
o Do not copy/paste information from any source.
o No citations
