  • Title: The Impact of Colonialism on Indigenous Peoples

    – I will give you the two questions in the files below 
    -Each essay is worth 15 marks for a total of 30 marks
    -Each essay should be approximately 1000 words (4 double-spaced pages,
    12 Font, 1” margins)
    -use the textbook below 
    -A thesis statement should indicate your response
    to the question posed. If the essay question asks you if you agree with a statement
    made or to discuss a topic given, you need to clearly outline your overall response (i.e.
    give your thesis). In terms of organisation, you should arrange your paper with a set of
    paragraphs in mind: an introductory paragraph that will include your thesis statement
    and general background, body paragraphs that elaborate on your key points, and a
    concluding paragraph that summarises your argument. Keys to remember in terms of
    the essay: You should not use this space as a ‘dumping ground’. A strong exam essay
    does not contain every last detail in your brain. Instead, a good exam essay includes an
    articulated, well-organised and well-supported argument. The examples you provide
    to support your claims must contain sufficient specific detail. The final exam aims
    to test your knowledge of the subject matter (based on only the course material
    covered in class) and your ability to analyse the material presented in this course 

  • Title: Rebuilding Trust in News: Analyzing Isaac Saul’s Suggestions

    The guidelines for this assignment are outlined in the course syllabus. An example of a primary and reply post is provided in the Discussion Boards > Discussion Board Guidelines section of eCampus.
    Please address the following topic in your primary post. Once you have submitted your primary post, you may reply to any student’s post on any topic to complete the assignment requirements. Your primary post must be in essay format! Do not copy/paste each prompt into your primary post and respond to them separately.
    How to actually win back trust in news
    Read the article linked above by Isaac Saul of Readtangle.com. Address address all of the prompts below (at a minimum) in your primary post:
    Summarize the article. Identify the central arguments or findings and the evidence used to support them (ignore everything after the “Before you go” section of the article).
    Identify and discuss how this issue relates to what you have learned from the course textbook. Be specific, citing a relevant passage and page from the book using MLA in-text citation format.
    Summarize and evaluate the article’s conclusion(s). Are they logically consistent or inconsistent with the evidence provided in the article? Is it consistent with what you learned in the textbook?
    What have other scholars said about one or more of the issues/policies discussed in the article? How are their findings consistent/inconsistent with those in the article?
    Overall, what are your thoughts about the findings, evidence, and conclusion presented in the article and why? Whether you agree or disagree with their arguments and conclusions, support your evaluation with high quality, authoritative sources.
    You will not be able to see the work of other students until you have submitted your original posting. You will not be able to edit your post after you submit it.
    Checklist (do not submit your primary post until you are certain it contains the following elements, at a minimum):
    Ο Primary post thoroughly addresses all of the prompts above and exceeds 250 words in the body (not counting citations and quotations).
    Ο The primary post cites and discusses the assigned article, the course textbook, and at least one scholarly or high quality source using MLA in-text citations and corresponding MLA Works Cited entries are provided in a concluding “Works Cited” section.
    Ο You have downloaded/saved a copy of every scholarly source cited and can email that to the professor if asked to do so. Cited sources (not including the textbook) must be present and searchable online for verification and review.
    Ο A word count is provided at the end of the posting.
    Lastly:
    Post a substantive reply exceeding 150 of your own words: thoroughly evaluate, discuss, and reflect on the ideas and arguments presented by another student. Avoid using the phrase “I like how you…”. Focus on developing concepts. Look at the sample reply post in the Discussion Board section of the course.
    This is not primarily an exercise in expressing opinions. Whether you like/did not like or agreed/did not agree with the article is not the point. Evaluate the arguments and ideas. The best discussion submissions will support all key arguments, facts, assertions and claims with research in both posts.
    Submissions are randomly checked for plagiarism using TurnitIn. Plagiarized submissions or submissions with fabricated sources will result in an automatic zero for the course. Using AI (artificial intelligence) sources to write any part of this assignment is considered plagiarism.
    Posting a blank, incomplete, or partial primary post with the intent to see what other students have posted will result in a 50% penalty to the assignment grade.

  • Title: “The Debate over Reconstruction: Lincoln’s Leniency vs. Radical Republican Harshness”

    President Lincoln’s goal for reconstruction remained linked to his goal in the war-preserve the Union. His plan favored leniency, in order to as quickly as possible reintegrate the south, and gain the support of Southern Unionists (mostly former Whigs). Radical Republicans urged a much harsher course, believing that the South was unrepentant and should bear the costs of Reconstruction.
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    In order to prepare you must complete the following readings:
    Review the following sections in Chapter 15: “Radical Reconstruction in the South” and “The Overthrow of Reconstruction” along with the linked document, taken from the writings of William A. Dunning.
    Review and identify relevant information on the linked PBS American Experience site, Reconstruction The Second Civil WarLinks to an external site.
    Utilize at least one of the linked sources to support your discussion.
    Identify and incorporate at least one additional outside source to support your discussion. In addition to the textbook, you may use any material outside of the textbook that is recommended in the Additional Reading section at the end of each chapter. You are also encouraged to do your own research and identify relevant sources. Please keep in mind that WIKIPEDIA is not an acceptable reference.
    PREPARE AND SUBMIT:
    Write a well-organized essay, a minimum of 700 words (but not limited to), including supporting details from the documents/textbook/other sources in which you analyze and discuss the material that has been assigned by addressing the following question:
    In your opinion, were the Radical Republicans correct in their assumptions regarding the South, or could Lincoln’s approach have paved the way for a continuation of the political, social, and economic gains that African Americans had achieved during Reconstruction? Support your argument(s) including information from assigned and linked readings

    This assignment provides you with the opportunity to interview a family member about three generations of your family’s history (the family member you interview, as well as his or her parents and grandparents). In the process, you will not only learn more about your own family’s story, but you also will have a chance to connect this narrative to the issues and trends that we have discussed in class this semester. For some students, this assignment may be a chance to spend time with and get to know an older relative and to further personalize your connections to our course materials. 
    First, you will conduct an interview with a person who has significant memories and knowledge of your family’s history—ideally, someone who is at least 60 years old, but an elderly relative (80 years+) would be ideal. Included below in this assignment are questions to help you prepare for the interview. Then, in a narrative form (not in a Q & A format) write up the information you gather during your interview.
    second part 
    In this section, you should connect aspects of your family’s story to the overall family topics and trends that we have been discussing all semester. You also must provide your interpretation of WHY your family’s history and contours unfolded as it did, in light of its location in terms of class, culture, race, gender, immigration, and/or educational statuses.
    The primary references in this analysis should be our class discussions and readings. However, you may be inspired to undertake further library research for this section to guide your understanding of issues (such as immigration history) that we have not covered in class. Please be mindful about citing sources using MLA or APA format and providing a list of works cited at the end of your essay.
