the Journal questions.
Journal Questions - The
readings for the journal questions can be found in the primary source
reader, Perspectives from the Past.
Each day's work will include a short writing assignment designed to give
you an opportunity to think and comment carefully on primary source
material. Write a multi-paragraph
short-essay that addresses the topic of the question, includes specific
examples in the discussion, and explains why the specific examples
are important. Do not simply rewrite
the introduction from the selections in the Primary Source Reader or from the
review recommended in the textbook. The journal
questions can be found on each day's assignment sheet. Keep your answers in a journal; I suggest a
composition notebook for this purpose, but in any case your journal should be
kept separate from your class notes.
