I will send the document with the requests and revisions I’d like from the ducment as well the additional document

For this assignment we need to write a 700-800 word essay in which you analyze the primary sources mentioned in the instructions document below. Your essay should cite and engage at least three primary passages (from the assigned readings); these should be in support of your argument. No additional research is expected—in fact, it’s discouraged. Make sure you cite the sources for your information, and especially the primary sources, using footnotes.
The essay should have a solid thesis (an argument) that is supported with evidence. Feel free to use direct quotations from primary sources – but efficiently: quoting too much wastes valuable space, especially since you only have two pages for this exercise.
In the attached file section you’ll find all the primary sources that were assigned to us, and also the primary source we should analyse.

The final project is an opportunity for you to showcase the different methods of teaching social studies content to children in grades 1-6. Using the various methods you learned in this course, you will design a mini-unit of study that contains four lessons on a specific unit for a particular grade you select. Your mini-unit must have the following:
An introduction page that sets us up for the mini-unit. Like the Historical Context piece, this introduction piece lays the mini-units groundwork. It provides some historical insights into the content and discusses why students need to know this information (minimum of one page).
You will create four lessons that go sequentially using the lesson plan template. For each lesson, you will apply a different pedagogical method. Select four of the six examples:
Visual inquiry based learning
Problem based learning
Using artifacts
Project based learning
Research using primary sources
Socratic Seminar
During the project presentations on May 14, 2024, you will present to the class using a PowerPoint, Google Slide, or Canva presentation, walking us through the different elements of one of your four lessons. Additionally, you will answer the following questions:
How does this lesson allow for student collaboration and engagement?
How is the teacher assessing students during this lesson?
What are some anticipated challenges the teacher will face during this lesson?
Your final project drafts are due on Blackboard by 11:59 PM on Thursday, April 16, 2024. You will receive feedback and the next steps before submitting your final project and presentation on Blackboard by 11:59 PM on Sunday, May 12, 2024

Your essay must be based on one of the topics from the list provided or another topic pre-approved by the professor. ONLY ONE PERSON IS ALLOWED TO WRITE ON EACH TOPIC. You need to choose a topic by February 9. If you know for sure that you want a certain topic, please let me know ASAP because once someone chooses a topic, no one else will be able to do the same one.  Your essay should be a minimum of 1500 words. The essays can be longer, if you wish, but not shorter!  You should use Turabian/Chicago style—the accepted style for history papers—(I will also accept MLA or APA as long as you are consistent) for citations, and your papers should be clear, detailed, and grammatically correct (be sure to proofread!). Points will be lost if this is not the case.  Use direct quotes very sparingly (no more than one or two very brief quotes per essay; quoted material will not count towards the word limit) and only to highlight a point or two that you are trying to make. In other words, the essays should be in your own words. Be sure to put any direct quotes into quotation marks (“”) to avoid plagiarism. Quoted material will not count towards the word limit!  DO NOT submit an old essay that you’ve done in a previous class and try to pass it off as new research (yes, this has happened in the past and it is cheating!)  For each of the essays, you will need to use the internet and also books, articles, or periodicals. But remember to put any/all the information you learn into your own words!  You should use at least 3–4 sources (books, journals, internet sites, etc.) while researching your essays. Each essay should contain a bibliography page that lists the sites (and any other sources) used. Wikipedia can give you a basic overview of a topic but is not considered a reliable source because the information on it can be changed and is not necessarily verified. You should only use sources that are considered historically acceptable, such as reputable books, journals, or websites. They should be written by a historian or other academic. You may also use primary sources, but they should be from newspapers or other accepted sources (peer-reviewed sources). If you have a question about whether a source is acceptable, please contact me or Southworth Library.  Please don’t use images (pictures, maps, diagrams, etc.) in your essay. This tends to make essay submission very difficult.  VERY IMPORTANT!: Completed essays should be submitted as Word documents in the dropbox provided.

Please answer THREE of the following questions in essay form. They should be about two pages typed minimum for each question. Make sure you answer each of the questions you have chosen fulling, using examples from the texts, Creating Black Americans and Major Problems in African American History. 1. Discuss the change in African American society created by the Great Migration. How did black people’s lives change socially, politically, economically and artistically (including the Harlem Renaissance)? Explain the difference between life in the North and the South for African Americans and the difficulties each group faced. What did each group do to improve their situation? 2. During the 20th century, two of the major strains of civil rights for African Americans included black separatism (Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Black Panther Party) and racial integration (WEB DuBois, NAACP, Martin Luther King Jr., SCLC, SNCC). Describe these two strains, including the major arguments for each. Which do you feel has been more successful? Were both ideas necessary in order to accomplish the goal of equal rights for African Americans? 3. How have African Americans used art, music and literature to express themselves in the 20th and 21st centuries? Using examples from our texts what periods have spawned the most artistic creativity? Why? What periods do not seem to be as represented by artistic movements and why? Does art and music inspire political action or reflect it? 4. Throughout the semester, we have discussed the change in gender roles for African Americans from slavery to the present time. Using examples from the 1900 to the present, discuss how gender roles adapted and changed through the Great Migration, the civil rights movement, the black power movement and the hip-hop generation. What women have been influential and why? How have roles changed for black women, including in the workplace, artistically and their higher rates of college attendance in recent years?

Your entire exam should be typed, 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, one-inch margin all around.
IMPORTANT: You are expected to use and cite the Modules (lectures) and textbooks for the class to support ALL your exam answers. Do not use sources from outside the class. Do NOT use Generate AI.
Your definitions for Section 1 should be a short paragraph each, approximately 5-6 sentences long. They should be long enough to define the term sufficiently and put it in context (i.e. why is it important).

Your essay in Section 2 should be approximately 4-5 pages (1000 to 1250 words) double spaced in length. It should answer the question as best as you think possible.

Do not rely on long quotes from your sources in your exam! Quotes should be no longer than a sentence. You should paraphrase (write in your own words) wherever you can, but you must still cite your source when you do so (please use MLA formatting for your citations). If and when you do directly quote your sources, you must introduce the quote and not leave it standing by itself. Please also include a works cited page in your exam.

write a 4 – 5 page report (typed, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12 point font) relating THE HISTORICAL ACCURACY of the book as detailed above. You MUST also attach to your report a photocopy of the Title Page of the novel you have read. This is NOT a Literature class, so DO NOT write a literary review, but an historical review concerning how accurate are the events, ideas, lifestyles and relationships described in the novel.
You should be able to open the document, but if you can’t send me a message!

For this assignment, we need to write a 2.5-page note about just one monument on al-Mu‘izz Street (between al-Hakim mosque and Azhar Street). I went for a walk on al-Mu‘izz Street to look at the monuments, so the note has to be written in the first person. I haven’t chosen any monument so you can look up the monuments on al-Mu‘izz Street built before the year 1600 and write about it as if you who went for the walk. For the monument you chose you should look it up and learn something about it separately.
So the note should be about something that struck you during the walk—an institution we visited/discussed (or some aspect of it); the width or shape of the street (al-Mu‘izz Street today, aka Bayn al-Qasrayn); the aesthetic style or entrance of a monument, etc.
This is not an essay: it is a note about your personal experience of something on the walk.
Below, you’ll find the professor’s tips on how to write better essays. This is very important as he is a very tough grader, and I really need to get the highest mark in this, as I got a D grade in both my midterms.
Thank you in advance. Looking forward to reading the writing.

A one-paragraph abstract with a proposed bibliography of three (3) scholarly references (from outside those assigned in class) is due prior to the final submission.
• Introduction/Presentation of the Problem – introduce your film and address why you have chosen to write about it in the context of the course (1 page)
• Synopsis of the Film – plot of the film/series/comic book narrative, actors/characters, events, etc. (***no more than 1 page***)
• Body – discuss the ways in which the terrorist is “constructed” in your film and what issues it speaks to political power in contemporary world history employing multiple concepts from the course (3-4 pages)
• Conclusion – address why popular culture is important to politics, transitioning from analysis of your own selection to a larger discussion of popular culture, being sure to reinforce the concepts and analyses you addressed in your paper and those we discussed in class (1-2 pages)
• Note: Consider your selection carefully, and if choosing a big-budget, boosterism film, be sure your analysis does not take the content at face value or treat its representation as unadulterated truth, but as a narrative with a normative aim. Films depicting “terror” and the use of political violence from other eras and from outside the framework of the United States are strongly encouraged.
• Your paper should be between 6-8 pp., double-spaced, and 12-point font, and must cite at least three (3) of the assigned readings from the course (at least one textbook citation is required). Additionally, you must cite another three (3) outside sources, preferably scholarly sources
Abstract with bibliography (20 points)
Knowledge of subject matter/satisfied all specified requirements (20 Points)
Critical thinking skills and application of course themes (20 Points)
Organization of ideas/material consistency/writing conventions (20 Points)
Research skills/proper citation (20 Points)

Paradise Now is the film you will work with. Be sure to state somewhere that the film takes place during the second intifada.

Questions to consider during assignment.
In what ways does the film explore the ethical dilemmas faced by individuals recruited for suicide bombing missions, particularly regarding the justification of violence in the name of political or religious causes?

How does “Paradise Now” explore the relationship between terrorism and nationalism, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and what insights does it offer into the complex interplay between identity, violence, and resistance?

In what ways does “Paradise Now” depict the psychological journey of individuals who become involved in terrorism, exploring factors such as indoctrination, social pressure, and personal belief systems?
