Write a Report

Writing Assignment: Choose a major historical event that took place during each of the following decades: the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and the 1990s. I want you to write a paper that includes each event. Due: Thursday – December 1st, 2016 Length: Two pages for each decade (minimum). Citation Style: APA – Reference page; 12-point font; etc. [Please use in text citations] Value: 25 points for each decade (5 points per criteria outlined) = 100 points! Criteria: ϖ You must cite at least one source for each decade. The source must be different for each event. In text citations are required. 1. You need to thoroughly explain the details of the event 2. You must explain the impact that the event had both the American society as well as the international community (if applicable). 3. Give your opinion on the event. Explain why you think the event happened. Was it a positive or negative event in your opinion? (Give reasons for why you think this!) Could it have been prevented (if it was a negative event), and if so, how? Will something like this ever happen again? If so, in what form, and where/why/etc.? 4. Explain why you chose the topic. What was the most interesting part of what you learned, and why? Discuss how this event has shaped us today. NOTE: KEEP IN MIND that those absent on the due date will still incur a penalty. Each class you do not have your paper, there will be a -10 point penalty. (I will check your sources! Do NOT just rely on Wikipedia and Google, and DO NOT plagiarize.) This is college – “cut and paste” is not the same as writing a scholarly paper. All non-cited work will result in an automatic zero and all students will be held accountable to the college’s student academic conduct guidelines.
