Order Info Сustomer's subject: History Topic: U.S HISTORY FINAL PAPER Type of work: Essay Level: Undergraduate Number of pages: 6 pages = 1650 words Formatting style: Chicago Language Style: English (U.S.) Sources: You will have one written project for this course, which will allow you to think about and use the material you will be learning in a creative way. You may choose from ONE of the following prompts, but both prompts will have the same requirements: five pages, typed, double-spaced (about 1500 words), using (quoting directly from and citing) at least ten sources (both secondary sources and primary sources, with about half of the sources being primary or first-hand in nature). No online sources will be accepted unless they are from a scholarly institution OR they are from online versions of scholarly journals OR they are primary sources found on the Internet; this means that sites like Wikipedia are not acceptable for this assignment! You will need to format your paper according to proper Chicago Manual of Style or Turabian requirements. (See https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/purdue_owl.html for help with citations and general style requirements.) You will be graded on four criteria: the completeness and accuracy of the history you are presenting (30 points), the persuasiveness of your argument for your subject (20 points), your thoughtful use of scholarly, academic material (30 points), and your use of good, scholarly writing and composition (20 points). Your paper will be due on or before July 9 and must be submitted in hard- copy (printed) format. Papers will not be accepted after the due date, and any departure from any of the above requirements will result in an automatic ten percent grade deduction. Here are the topics/prompts you may choose from: You have been given the opportunity to make a proposal to a Hollywood producer to make a feature film about any period/decade/event/person during this period (1877-2000)—provided, of course, that it deals with the American experience. Write a proposal for this movie, answering the following questions; the passion and persuasiveness of your argument will determine whether your film gets made or not! What would you make your movie about? Why did you choose that? What value or relevance does it have for a modern viewing audience? What events would you show? What primary sources (first-hand accounts) would you use in the film to tell your story from a factual perspective? • You are curator of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, DC. You have been assigned the task of selecting the event and/or person you believe to have been the most influential of the twentieth century, and you will be required to create a public exhibit that will show that person or event. Lay out a proposal that will argue why you chose that person/event, how that person/event transformed the United States (if not the world), and why that is relevant and valuable for the American public to know today. Describe the exhibit you wish to create, complete with artifacts or other elements that will guide your audience into a better understanding of your subject. What primary sources (first-hand accounts) will you use to help illustrate your subject to give your audience a better understanding of the history you wish topresent?
