Essay Instructions:
The Media Companion CD-ROM included with the textbook has a “primary source documents library” with several primary sources relating to each chapter. These sources are mostly contemporary historical documents – ie. writings by participants at the time, not by historians later – though some are images. Students are required to write, and submit electronically through the “Assignments” function of Blackboard, a brief commentary on one of the primary sources pertaining to Chapters 1 through 14 by midnight May 29. The commentary, which can range in length from a half to a full page, single space, should identify and briefly describe the item and suggest what it reveals as a historical source. The lectures and the textbook should give enough background for interpreting these sources; no additional research is required (though some students may wish to consult reference books). Commentaries will be graded (out of 5) and the grades will be posted. The commentaries will not be returned, but students wanting feedback can request it from the instructor by email. The due date for the commentary is fixed, and late submissions will not be accepted. (Blackboard will accept them only until 12:15 am May 30.) will send additional page files on Monday
