War of terrorism
This project is completed in two parts. The first part requires you to write a short paper about the topic you chose. In addition to the paper, you will also choose 8 artifacts related in some way to that topic, and create PowerPoints for those.
Begin by choosing a topic from this course-anything weve covered or will cover will do (check the textbook or course modules) for suggestions. Email me with your choice. Since no two people in the class can use the same subject, I recommend sending me your top three choices, with your number one choice at the top. Email your list to .
Next, do some preliminary research on your chosen topic. The textbook is a good place to start. As you read about this topic, think about why this topic is important enough to include in a study of American History. Be ready to cover the basic questions of historical research: who, what, why, whenand why was this important?
For your paper, you will summarize the topic as it relates to World History and explain why the topic is worth studying. Be sure to view the grading rubric so you can see what a successful paper will look like.
