Your assignment is to research a person from “The Era of Change,” and then write a constructed response. Using both information you have learned in class as background and at least two outside scholarly research sources, you will write your response explaining the historical significance of the person you have been assigned.
Assignment Objectives:
- Students will illustrate their knowledge of the impact of this time period by writing a constructed response using one PERSIAN theme.
- Students will demonstrate their understanding of their historical figure through scholarly research.
- Students will demonstrate their understanding of outside research documentation through parenthetical citations in their constructed responses.
- Students will demonstrate their understanding of outside research documentation in an MLA formatted Works Cited page.
Prompt:
Using one PERSIAN theme, describe how an individual’s achievements or actions reflect the changes of their time period.
Formatting Guidelines:
- You must write your response according to the “LDC Informational Rubric.” We will review this rubric in class.
- Your response MUST contain relevant and accurate historical content. Your response will need at least two parenthetical citations.
- You must attach a properly formatted MLA Works Cited page indicating at least two outside academic sources (outside = sources not provided as part of our routine coursework).
- At least one of your sources must come from the library research databases.
- General knowledge encyclopedias (For example: Wikipedia, Britannica, World Book, CultureGrams, or a classroom textbook) are not considered robust academic sources. However, you can access these for background knowledge.
- The use of AI technology is not acceptable in the creation of this product. The final product will be checked by turnitin.com on Canvas, which checks for plagiarism.
