For this Module, you are expected to review the primary source documents and images as well as maps and charts in Ch. 12-15 of your primary textbook, Give Me Liberty: An American History, V. 1, Brief, 5th Ed., and post three (3) analytical blog entries. Your posts should answer one or more of the authors’ questions (if applicable), and also communicate your opinions and personal reflections about the topic. You may also use the Media Worksheet (see the link below) as a guide to help you with your analysis (not mandatory). In addition to the three (3) entries, you are also required to comment on at least two (2) entries posted by your classmates. These replies should be substantive and go beyond complimentary remarks. You can earn up to 13 points for your participation in this activity, up to three (4) points for each entry (a total of 12 points for three entries) and one (1) point for your two replies. Begin your work early in the week and enjoy the blog! Please note, last-minute entries are of no value to the group, hence timing of the post will be considered in grading blog participations. This blog will close when we complete Module 3, May 25.

Please post your entries directly to the blog as opposed to attaching a file.
