Assignment: Create a thoughtful and well-presented research project that is, or is the equivalent of, a c. 8 pages (c. 2000 words) research paper that reflects your own historical interpretation of a topic related to this course and makes good use of properly cited historical evidence (whether taken from sources in the course or from sources outside the course) and completed and submitted by Friday, December 18th.
BE SURE TO GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME TO PRODUCE A PROJECT THAT REFLECTS YOUR BEST EFFORT!
_______________________
Expectations: Your research project should be clear, thought-out, and well-presented and reflect a topic you have put some thought and interest into, and where necessary contain strong quality writing, definitely proofread!, using appropriately cited historical evidence to support your interpretation. All projects, whether written or not, should represent the equivalent work/time/effort of a c. 8 page essay.
You have many options to consider in terms of how you fulfill the (including as an essay, a this could be audio, visual, or both, a piece of art, or other form of creative assignment). Be sure to pick a topic and format that represents an interest of yours!
Examples of Projects
Essay: An c. 8 page (c. 2000 words) essay.
You could, but do not have to!, include images, websites, or some other form of online media to make the essay more interactive.
Be sure to cite your sources and/or include a bibliography!
Historical Fiction/Poetry/Etc.: Use real historical information, sources, analysis, and evaluation to present something new that constitutes a creative critical historical interpretation.
Be sure to cite your sources and/or include a bibliography!
NOTE: THIS MUST INCLUDE A 2-4 PAGES (500-1000 WORDS) HISTORICAL ANALYSIS EXPLAINING YOUR PROJECT IN DETAIL TO YOUR AUDIENCE!
A lecture, slide presentation, video, song, picture, etc.: You could create an audio project, a visual project, or both!
Be sure to cite your sources and/or include a bibliography!
NOTE: THIS MUST INCLUDE A 2-4 PAGES (500-1000 WORDS) HISTORICAL ANALYSIS EXPLAINING YOUR PROJECT IN DETAIL TO YOUR AUDIENCE!
Do It Yourself (DIY): Come up with something else (it would probably be a good idea to check with me about the format ahead of time)
Make sure it’s the equivalent of the work/time/effort of a c. 8 page essay!
Be sure to cite your sources and/or include a bibliography!
NOTE: THIS MUST INCLUDE A 2-4 PAGES (500-1000 WORDS) HISTORICAL ANALYSIS EXPLAINING YOUR PROJECT IN DETAIL TO YOUR AUDIENCE!
Remember: If you use outside historical sources for evidence be sure that they are “good sources.” They should meet the following 3 criteria:
1) The creators are associated with higher education and or some other form of “quality control.”
2) You can identify who created the source and can check their reliability.
3) Information is credited and sourced so you can find where it is coming from and you can potentially double-check the information yourself.

CITATION NOTES:
I would recommend you use a formal citation-style as practice. You can see examples for Chicago-style citation (the preferred format in history) by clicking here (Links to an external site.).
If you prefer, you can continue to use informal citation that can appear in parentheses following your discussion of your source and look like this: (Name of author/creator, Name of source, and if it has a page number include that here or if it is from a website use <url here>, finish with the date you accessed the page or the date of publication)
Example: “It’s a good idea to start on a research project at least a month ahead of its due date.” (Blake Johnson, “Research Project Assignment,” HIST-3B-43873-F20<https://peralta.instructure.com/courses/35356/assignments/343655> [put date accessed here])
_______________________
Tips: If you are having trouble deciding on a topic you can contact the instructor for advice or you can (but don’t have to!) do your project on one or more of the following topics related to Modern World History:
The impact(s) of colonialism, imperialism, and/or globalization at any/all points between 1500 and the present.
The historical development(s) of any aspect of culture, society, science (including medicine), technology, etc.
Identity 1 or more historical “turning points” or “transitions” that did, or did not, change the course of world history and explore why it happened, what it did, and/or how it could have been different.
Some particular person or event you are interested in from any period between 1500 to the present.
Compare the experiences of different parts of the world during some or all of the the period we cover in this class. Examples: Compare India with China or the United States or Japan or compare the “developed” and “developing” world. Or…
*NOTE: There are no right or wrong arguments; I just want you to research and produce a project that you are interested in creating and, hopefully, will be proud of your resulting project.
