QUESTION 2

In this question you need to submit the revisions for Question 2 and Question 3 from LRA #2. As a reminder these two questions asked you to find 2 scholarly books that examine your topic from a historical perspective. The first had to be a general history of your chosen country or region. The second was a more detailed history of your specific topic. These are called secondary sources because they examine the past from the perspective of the present.

STEP 1: Review the comments from the grader that you pasted into question 1 and make the necessary changes here using the same format as you did in LRA #2. Label your general history 2A and your detailed history 2B. If no revisions were necessary simply copy and paste your original answers from LRA #2 into the text box using the 2A and 2B labels. If you need a reminder of what a citation should look like click the following link  Chicago Manual of Style bibliography format.

STEP 2: Add two more sentences to your paragraph description of each book.

QUESTION 3

In this question you need to submit the revisions for Question 4 and Question 5 from LRA #2. As a reminder these two questions asked you to find 2 scholarly history journal articles that examine your topic from a historical perspective. Both of these articles needed to be from journals that primarily publish history articles. These are called secondary sources because they examine the past from the perspective of the present.

STEP 1: Review the comments from the grader that you pasted into question 1 and make the necessary changes here using the same format as you did in LRA #2. Label your general history 3A and your detailed history 3B. If no revisions were necessary simply copy and paste your original answers from LRA #2 into the text box using the 3A and 3B labels. If you need a reminder of what a citation should look like click the following link  Chicago Manual of Style bibliography format.

STEP 2: Add two more sentences to your paragraph description of each article.

QUESTION 4

In the next 3 questions you will find 3 primary sources. In this question you will find your 1st primary source. Primary sources are documents produced at the time of the events that they describe and can be called eyewitness accounts of history. These can be newspaper articles, memoirs, autobiographies, letters, reports, bureaucratic papers, etc. The key is that they were written by someone describing events as they experienced them, rather than analyzing events with the benefit of time and distance. As such, most of the sources that you cite below should be published DURING THE TIME PERIOD THAT YOU ARE STUDYING.  So if your time period is 1950-1980 your citation below should be published during that time period. The only exception to this are memoirs or autobiographies, as these are items that people write later in life to describe events that they experienced. Only memoirs or autobiographies may be published outside of the date range for your topic.

STEP 1: Write out the citation for your 1st primary source in Chicago Manual of Style bibliography format.

STEP 2: Double check your source to be sure it is a primary source. Ask yourself:

Was this written and/or published during the historical time period I am studying? For example if you were studying race in 1920s Britain, then this should be written and/or published in the 1920s.
Did the author experience the events they are describing? Even old books can be secondary sources. If you book was published in 1960 but the events it describes took place in the 1800s, then it is not a primary source.
STEP 3: After the citation write a 4-6 sentence paragraph that tells me what kind of document this is, a brief description of its contents, and how you will use it in your paper.

QUESTION 5

In this question you will find your 2nd primary source. Primary sources are documents produced at the time of the events that they describe and can be called eyewitness accounts of history. These can be newspaper articles, memoirs, autobiographies, letters, reports, bureaucratic papers, etc. The key is that they were written by someone describing events as they experienced them, rather than analyzing events with the benefit of time and distance. As such, most of the sources that you cite below should be published DURING THE TIME PERIOD THAT YOU ARE STUDYING.  So if your time period is 1950-1980 your citation below should be published during that time period. The only exception to this are memoirs or autobiographies, as these are items that people write later in life to describe events that they experienced. Only memoirs or autobiographies may be published outside of the date range for your topic.

STEP 1: Write out the citation for your 2nd primary source in Chicago Manual of Style bibliography format.

STEP 2: Double check your source to be sure it is a primary source. Ask yourself:

Was this written and/or published during the historical time period I am studying? For example, if you were studying race in 1920s Britain, then this should be written and/or published in the 1920s.
Did the author experience the events they are describing? Even old books can be secondary sources. If you book was published in 1960 but the events it describes took place in the 1800s, then it is not a primary source.
STEP 3: After the citation write a 4-6 sentence paragraph that tells me what kind of document this is, a brief description of its contents, and how you will use it in your paper.

QUESTION 6

In this question you will find your 3rd primary source. Primary sources are documents produced at the time of the events that they describe and can be called eyewitness accounts of history. These can be newspaper articles, memoirs, autobiographies, letters, reports, bureaucratic papers, etc. The key is that they were written by someone describing events as they experienced them, rather than analyzing events with the benefit of time and distance. As such, most of the sources that you cite below should be published DURING THE TIME PERIOD THAT YOU ARE STUDYING.  So if your time period is 1950-1980 your citation below should be published during that time period. The only exception to this are memoirs or autobiographies, as these are items that people write later in life to describe events that they experienced. Only memoirs or autobiographies may be published outside of the date range for your topic.

STEP 1: Write out the citation for your 3rd primary source in Chicago Manual of Style bibliography format.

STEP 2: Double check your source to be sure it is a primary source. Ask yourself:

Was this written and/or published during the historical time period I am studying? For example, if you were studying race in 1920s Britain, then this should be written and/or published in the 1920s.
Did the author experience the events they are describing? Even old books can be secondary sources. If you book was published in 1960 but the events it describes took place in the 1800s, then it is not a primary source.
STEP 3: After the citation write a 4-6 sentence paragraph that tells me what kind of document this is, a brief description of its contents, and how you will use it in your paper.

QUESTION 7

In this question you will find a newspaper article that relates to the current event (last 5 years) to which you will link or compare your historical research.  This article may be published in a U.S. newspaper but the article should reflect the global significance of the issue it describes. As this is a current issue, the article must have been published in the last 5 years and the newspaper must be a mainstream internationally recognized news source.

STEP 1: Write the citation in Chicago Manual of Style bibliographic format for 1 current newspaper article that relates to the current issue that is linked to your historical research.

STEP 2: After the citation write a 4-6 sentence paragraph that gives me:

A brief description of the articles contents
An indication of how this article relates or compares with your historical topic. You should indicate whether you are tracing the historical development of a current issue or whether you are comparing the past and the present.
What makes the topic addressed in the article an issue of global significance.

QUESTION 8

As with your secondary sources, in this question you will revise the research questions that you created in LRA #2 here based on the comments. As a reminder, the idea of this paper is to find out something new about the history of the topic that you have chosen. This means that your questions should be opened ended. Avoid leading questions that make assumptions or judgments about your topic before you have conducted in-depth research.

STEP 1: Review the comments from LRA #2 for Question 6 that you pasted into question 1 of this LRA.

STEP 2: Revise those question here.  Label your questions separately 9A and 9B. If you did not have comments from the grader for Question #6 in LRA #2, then paste your original questions here using the above labels.
