Formal Essay

Description

After completing all the reading for Unit 2 in Globalyceum, compose a formal essay that address the following “Big Questions:”

Significance: What was the most interesting thing you learned in these unit chapters and why?
Connection: What connections or parallels can you make between that event, or person, or concept, or place, and events within the United States today (economic, political, social, cultural)?
I’m trying to accomplish several things with this assignment.

Teach you to think about this history at a more personal level by encouraging you to draw your own conclusion about its significance. (You must use specific evidence to accomplish this so that you are presenting a scholarly critique, and not just a half-baked opinion)
Teach you to connect the past to the present by encouraging you to see that we are still impacted by past events (again, you will have connect specific things in the past with the preset and not just state oversimplified generalizations).
Brainstorm. Sometimes it is easier to just sit down and brainstorm before you start writing this essay. Do this by answering the following questions (I should see your “answers” to these questions throughout your formal essay):

Did you learn something new that was interesting or stimulating to you? Why and how was it interesting or stimulating? Did what you learned challenge something you already thought you knew, or did it confirm an idea or concept you already understood? What is the connection between this past idea and the present? I want to know what you think about U.S. History and how past events relate to your life and our country and world, today. How and why is something that happened in our collective “American” past (our History) relevant to our lives’ today? This is the most important question we ask within any History course that I teach and that is why I need to hear specifically from you. Your opinion matters and your ideas are valid in this class. l know that you can do this, because all of us do this every day, in every possible moment, of our daily consciousness. We take in information, we process that information, and we form opinions or ideas about how to respond or “think” about the information.

Be original and don’t cheat. I only want you to use your e-textbook for all information or research on any topic in this class. I will not accept any outside source material and will fail students for summarizing any web-based data. Your e-textbooks will provide plenty of detailed evidence for you to process.
