Discussion: History (600 words)

Discussion Directions:

Please use your textbook and to answer both discussion questions.

– You are required to solely use your textbook to answer the questions.

– No other outside sources are required to answer the questions.

– The more details and examples you use to write your responses, the more points you will likely get.

– You are graded on the originality of your response, the depth, and critical thinking you bring to the discussion.

– Be sure responses are in your own words, and your own work. Originality is important, and I implore you not to copy the text verbatim from the text. If you do, please be sure to cite the source and page number from the textbook, as I have done in the Online Discussion sample.

– Use that as a template how to answer and cite information from a source. If you do not cite sources/textbook, you will get 0 points if you borrowed information form that source.

– Responses should be at least 300-350 words per question (it’s okay to go over the word limit).
