researching a major historical event

You want to choose an event that has had major significance on a given society, such as the passage of a law like Roe v. Wade or a scientific breakthrough like genome projects (see below for additional topic suggestions). This week you will choose the event and submit a 1-2 paragraph overview of your topic.

Questions to consider: What makes this event historically significant? How did this event impact society and culture? What was the media’s coverage and how did that coverage impact society and culture?

In your submission, state the event you want to use for this project with a brief rationale for your choice, explaining why your topic is socially significant. In addition, submit three APA citations for articles that you will use in your research. Include any questions you have for your instructor at the end of your document.

Your instructor will provide feedback on your choice. Though this assignment is not worth points in Week 5, points are included for it in Week 8, as it is a required deliverable for the final project, and you will lose points on your overall project grade if you fail to submit your topic. Keep in mind that you will have to have your topic approved by your instructor before moving forward. See the Portfolio Project Rubric for more details.
