Q Consider Throughout the semester we will be reading and reviewing primary source information as well as secondary source excerpts, and each type of source requires a corresponding kind of analysis. The Reading Response assignments are a chance for you to engage with these authors other than your textbook authors, in a written format. Your task will be to consider the prompt for each and create a response to one of the questions posed. The main purpose of these response assignments is for you to consider alternative perspectives (not always presented in the textbook) and "hear" different historians' voices, as well as show that you fully understand the claim or argument of the author in the historical context provided by the textbook. "Context" is not the "cause" of an event, but the social, political, economic, and environmental circumstances of any given event or artifact (for more on on how to better understand context you can review this Mometrix video (Links to an external site.), which explains context when reviewing fiction or literature but is useful to us as well). Write or Create For each response, please consider what the topic and sources mean to you, what information they provide, what new ideas they stimulate. Then, write at least 700 words your judgments with careful analysis and thoughtful revision, in one of the following formats: • An essay as a formal report. • A personal blog that you may continue throughout the course. This will enable you to write, if you choose, in a more informal style, and you can quickly review your thinking from various lessons. If you want I can create a blog page in Canvas for you to develop or you can use an outside site, but you can also simply write as if you were writing for a blog page. • An e-mail addressed to a friend or family member about your intellectual journey as prompted by the accompanying reading. This format can allow you to adopt a friendly style and to write in the first person. Your Reading Response is due by Sunday, 11:59pm in Canvas.
