AMERICAN HISTORY IN VIDEO - ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Statement of Purpose or "Why Am I Doing This?"
Historical programming is a popular method of introducing individuals to the past in a way that is interesting and visually appealing. While not always the standard method of acquiring knowledge, these tools can provide an overview of a topic that stimulates further research. This assignment allows you to address a particular topic, practice writing skills, and hone research skills that will be necessary in future academic endeavors.
Completing This Assignment:
- Go to the American History in Video database and view the video you chose in the Pre-Assignment: https://ahiv.alexanderstreet.com.ezproxy.liberty.edu:2048/Playlists/408827
- After viewing the video, write a 1-2-page summary of the entire content. No analysis or commentary is necessary; only provide a synopsis of the material.
Your paper must be typed in a Microsoft Word (or compatible) document, be double-spaced, be in 12-pt. Times New Roman font, and have 1-inch margins.
In the event the video covers more than 1 specific topic, choose 1 on which to focus your bibliography.
Example: If you view a video on the Battle of Gettysburg, you must choose sources for your bibliography that address the Battle of Gettysburg, not the Civil War. Although they are broadly related, the connection must be more focused.
