Time line assignment
Assignment Summary:
For this assignment students are required to select three events that drastically shaped the history of Africa and its people today.
Assignment Details:
You must select three historical events that dramatically shaped the history of Africa and its people today. Your justification for why you selected these events must be well-supported using course content. Additional research is encouraged; however, your work must reflect the subjects that were discussed in the textbook. Your explanation must include historical significance and evidence.
Historical significance relates to events that resulted in great change over long periods of time for a large number of people. It depends on how great an impact an event has had over the long term. Historical significance also depends on the individual; therefore, there is no one right answer. You will be graded on your ability to support your event choices. A great way to present this information is by using a cause and effect paragraph structure.
Evidence involves the interpretation and use of primary and secondary sources. Most, if not all, your evidence will be from secondary sources namely the textbook and other posted articles or videos found in the course. When doing additional research, ensure that secondary sources come from reliable sources.
