Journal #1 Instructions
In this course, you will complete a series of History Journal entries, which you will submit twice during the term. Refer to the Assignments and Course Schedule on Syllabus Page 2 for due dates.
Journal #1
In this first journal activity, you may write about any topic(s) of your choice, but it is best to use the textbook to study.
For this activity, topics should address content covered in Chapters 1 – 8 in the textbook. 
It is expected that, at a minimum, you are reading the assigned textbook chapters.
You are encouraged to read collateral historical writings on topics covered in the textbook.
This activity will consist of 10 separate journal entries; you will have a total of 20 entries by the end of the course.
!!!!! Please submit all ten entries at once and all in in one file!!!!  DO NOT submit one at a time nor as multiple files or as a zip file.  This makes it easier for you to submit and for me to grade. 
Each separate entry should:
contain a minimum of 120 words.
consist of a summary, paraphrase, and synthesis of material you are reading/studying in this course.
be written in your own words – do not quote the work of others verbatim.
discuss the subject matter that you are studying – do not simply agree/disagree.
Your study involves, first and foremost, learning the nation’s past; doing so requires a review of previously published studies, so you are encouraged to conduct research using outside resources, but be sure to publish your journal entries in your own words.
Direct quotations should not be used; citations are not necessary.
Do not copy/paste information from any source.
