US History 3 Questions + work cited

Answer three essay questions (approximately 350 words each) in one document that also contains a Works Cited page. Submit this document as your Final Paper summative assessment. Several topic questions encompassing various historical themes and events covered during the second half of the course are provided, and you will choose three that best suit your interest. All components of the multilayered topic questions you select need to be addressed. Also, you will gather additional information through basic background research to enhance your responses.

Your comprehensive essay responses will allow you to demonstrate what you have learned this semester by integrating specific class content and supplementary research material into your responses and explaining your understanding of historical issues in original wording. Information obtained through basic research should be paraphrased and summarized so that your entire paper is unique, and basic in-text citations need to be included where that material is incorporated; a simple Works Cited page containing all of your sources must be provided at the end of your paper. The grading rubric is provided here to serve as a checklist before you turn in your paper, and helpful information on MLA citations, paraphrasing, and criteria for the Final Paper can be found within this module.
