us history essay
see the file I need the work well done if you can’t don’t come.
I will choose the topic…
Think of ONE specific thing you have learned about in this class: a political movement, a war, an ethnic group, an economic development, or a concept.
1. Write an introduction.
2. Then, write 2 or 3 well-developed paragraphs summarizing and explaining the history you are commenting on. Be specific and factual in your writing.
3. Conclude with a paragraph summarizing and explaining your change of thinking on the example you have chosen. The change could be that you know more about a person or event than you did previously and how more knowledge causes you to see it differently. The change could be something new to you that changes your understanding of the period of history. The change could be developing a more complex view of something you have seen simplistically, or it could be a complete reversal of your view of some event or movement. This could be a well-developed paragraph, not just a brief statement of change. The paper should be about 600 to 700 words in length, 11-font single-spaced or double-spaced. Make sure to include your name and a title, which reflects the topic of your paper.
I will accept the following file formats: pdf, doc, docx.

Clarification: If you are using any of the discussion topics or reflection-paper topics, you need to go beyond the information you have provided in them. Simply copying from an old reaction paper or discussion reflection would not be acceptable. You can use additional sources, but you need to make sure that you include a reference page with your external sources. There is no need to include a reference page if you are using just the class videos and textbook, but an in-text citation (last name of the author and a page number if known) should be included. Use the title of the source if the author is unknown.
