HIST Forum Discussion #1 Forum Discussion #1Using specific ideas and information from both the secondary source by Peter Iverson and the primary account from Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, write a description of the West at the time that outsiders, beginning with Cabeza de Vaca, arrive to the region (roughly between 1528 and the early 1700s). Are there broad characteristics we can use to describe the region and its peoples? Give specific evidence from our class sources to support your responses. Please post a complete response to each element of the assignment using specific information and interpretations from assigned readings to support your post. Answers are due by January 22. See course grading <https://elearn.isu.edu/moodle/mod/book/view.php?id=1901638&chapterid=76866> rubric for the standards expected for this assignment. Your original posts should be around 1-2 pages of writing. You might want to draft your submission in a word document, then paste the text in when you're ready. Submit your first post by clicking on the "Add new discussion topic" link below. When you post to the forum, make sure your full response to the assigned questions is written or pasted into the entry window. Attached documents diminish discussion. The second half of this assignment is to return to the discussion and respond to at least one of the answers posted by others in your group. To read these, click on the links in the Discussion column. Then choose the Reply link at the bottom of the posting to add your response. Replies must be posted by January 24. First post graded for up to 20 points. Reply is graded up to 5 points. (In the case of multiple replies, which we love to see, I will score the strongest.) 4. GRADED COURSE WORK4.1.

Rubrics <https://elearn.isu.edu/moodle/mod/book/view.php?id=1901638&chapterid=76872> provide the first level of feedback on your work. If you have a question on grades, please first consult the rubric and assess your own work as it fits the elements listed there. For improvement, think about how to achieve the elements in a higher category. If you feel that your work deserves a higher score, please write to the professor explaining how that work fits a higher level on the rubric than the initial score. I am happy to reconsider scores on this basis. Late work is not accepted without prior approval. Any case of plagiarism results in a failing grade for the semester without an opportunity to withdraw.
