Voices of Freedom Order Description Documents 128 in the book Voices of Freedom. Professor LaBau’s Paper Assignment for Hist 202 Three times during the quarter you will write a paper analyzing one of the documents in Voices of Freedom. Your paper will be composed of two parts: 1) Your answers to the four Historian’s Questions. 2) Your answers to Foner’s questions (listed after each document in Voices of Freedom). The text of your paper (including answers to all six questions) must be 400-500 words. Most of those words should be devoted to Historian’s Questions 2-4. You will be assigned three specific documents to analyze in your papers during the course of the quarter. A list of which documents you are assigned to write about will be posted on Blackboard at the conclusion of the add/drop period. A printed copy of each paper is due before class on the date that the document is assigned. Papers turned in after the beginning of class will receive a 10% penalty until the end of class. Papers turned in by the beginning of the following class meeting will receive a 50% penalty. No assignments will be accepted later than that. Your four document analysis (three papers and the final document analysis during our final exam time) will cumulatively count for 40% of your overall grade.
