History

In this course, we have introduced and assessed many noteworthy figures related to the colonizing and first 90 years of the United States. For this assignment, you will choose a significant figure who contributed to and influenced others during the time discussed in this course-NO US PRESIDENTS-and prepare a tribute focusing on his or her relevance to today.

This is not a biography. Your argument should highlight how society remembers your historical figure now, based on the philosophies and ideals he or she presented or helped to change and evolve.

The style of this project is a self-guided PowerPoint presentation. Creativity and effort will impact the final grade.

Projects will be on the following:

- Prepare and submit a two-page reflection, ideally based on the outline assignment from Unit VI.
- Create and submit a self-guided PowerPoint presentation.
- Use a minimum two sources.
- Proper citations and references for any use or identification of those sources must be used.
- Length must of powerpoint must fall within three to five minutes; in the case of PowerPoint, slides and audio should progress and stop automatically like a taped presentation.
- Content accuracy and avoidance of anachronism are a must.
