Read all the posts on the 8/26 Discussion Forum and select two of them that help you develop your own interpretation and response to Remnick’s article. Quote or summarize your classmates’ posts while indicating their names clearly. Then, explain how they allow you to extend/modify/challenge your initial thought. Your reflection needs to be more than just saying these posts were “interesting,” “thought-provoking,” or “helpful”: state what idea or interpretation stands out and why it helps your original reading. You could also reflect on how you can contribute to your classmates’ posts by adding a new angle.

Write about 300-350 words for your thorough reflection of this week’s conversation.

Write about 300-350 words for your thorough reflection of this week’s conversation.

10-12 pages long (text w/o images) with 11pt font and normal margins. Must have footnotes in Chicago style. No need for a bibliography. Must have appropriate use of maps and images. Must include diverse sources, including academic journal articles and primary sources.

no plagiarism and use academic sources and books

Topic: Research paper on “The Great depression”

The paper is 30 percent of the grade and the paper will be 10 pages in length, double spaced, using 12 point font. Work cited cannot be count as a part of 10 pages. This should be similar to any paper you would write for other classes – including a title page, an introduction, body of text, a conclusion, and references/bibliography. APA or MLA format is acceptable.

Proper Citation of Sources.

When writing papers that use information from researched sources, it is necessary to provide complete and correct documentation to show the source of all words and ideas which are not those of the student. Failure to cite a source implies that the information used is the original work of the paper writer – a form of stealing known as “plagiarism.” In the college class, plagiarism is grounds for failure, no matter how well written the rest of the paper may be.

Do not use first person or contractions when writing. Also, remember that a successful term paper is not one that is written at the last moment, rather it is one that has been thought out, written, edited, and edited some more. Make sure you proofread! Nothing detracts from a paper (or grade) worse than a poorly written, mistake-filled paper.

When writing this research paper, you should attempt to address the following questions: Comprehensive introduction ( includes who, what, where, and when) with a clear thesis statement that answers the question.

• Why is this person or event important in Modern World History?

• Does this individual or event represent an aspect that helped shape Modern World History?

• Would Modern World History be different if not for the actions of this person or the occurrence of the events? (ensure you have a solid conclusion)

Important :

“Students should not use the encyclopedia or the course textbook as the primary source of research. Also, keep in mind when writing the research paper, You should not rely solely on the internet for information either; students may use certain web page links such as The History Channel or Historynet.com to reinforce the research paper. “
