HIST 190 Self-Assessment and Reflection
Part One
For the final step of your research assignment, you will create a narrated PowerPoint sharing the knowledge that you gathered during the course of your research and presenting it in a clear and cohesive manner.
Your assignment should be designed to teach a friend or family member about your topic in an accessible format. You can focus on the specific primary source, the author, one of the themes highlighted in your source… or all of the above. It is really up to you.
All assignments must include the following sections:
Information about your primary source:
- Name of primary source.
- Author (if known) and background.
- Time period.
- Geographic Location.
- Type of Source.
- Historical Significance (why is this source important in the context of world history?)
Bibliography
List the sources (written and visual) that you have used to complete your narrated PowerPoint. This list should include all encyclopedia articles, journals articles, and your primary source. Remember to format your bibliography using the Chicago Manual of Style.
