Assignment:
Use the REQUIRED textbooks listed in the READING Materials section of the CONTENT area and showcase the history discovered by specifying the exact PAGE in the book that you found the HISTORY discussed. You may use additional scholarly sources, but the textbook must be used and connected with exact pages to show that reading and comprehension work has been done for this week. No formal citation is required for these discussions, but please reviews the prompt carefully for Follow-Ups and research-based essay tasks. As you should be referencing your textbook, you do NOT need formal footnotes as the only item needed is the page number, whereas formal citations require more specifics.
Choose one of these topics for your main post. Respond to at least one student who answered a different question from you. The answers should come from your textbook, the book of primary source documents, the assigned website, the lecture, videos, and the research you conducted in the APUS Library. Respond as many times as you wish. Your two best responses will be graded.
