One of the options you have for extra credit is to do the ten history news articles

One of the options you have for extra credit is to do the ten history news articles. The purpose of the optional history news articles assignment is to show you that articles related to your class material appear in the news all the time. So if you do this assignment you will be looking for articles that specifically reference the primary history you are studying (which is U.S. history between 1865 and 2000). The articles must come from a current newspaper, news Web site, or news magazine (meaning something published within the dates of you class term) and the articles must not come from a history magazine, or newspaper blog or magazine blog, or history Web site. Nor should you use something from “This Day in History” which is more of an announcement than an article. Keep in mind that if you are looking for articles in a standard newspaper (like the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, New York Times, Daily Breeze, Wall Street Journal, or Daily News) you are most likely to find them in section A, but also check other sections, like the Obituary section and the Editorial page. When you find an appropriate article, clip it and attach it securely by staple or tape, to a standard sheet of paper, or, if you find your article online or want to scan the hard copy of your article, you can put it in an email with a link to it. Also put your name and class name, the date, and include the publication and page from which you got the article if you are submitting a hard copy. Then write a paragraph explaining what the article says and another paragraph explaining what parts of the article directly relate to the primary content of your class, or require some knowledge of the primary material of your class to understand. Remember, you are expected to turn in ten news articles if you do this optional assignment (or five articles and five projects), so get started sooner than later even though the articles are not due until the start of the last class. The idea here is to learn the history behind the stories in the news today to enhance your appreciation of the fact that knowing the past is relevant for understanding the present and acting upon the future. So keep your eyes open for historical items and write about them if you want to complete this assignment! You can turn in your articles, either individually or in total, anytime you like during the course term, but you should try and turn things in sooner than later and preferably at least one week prior to the due date in case an article is rejected and you need to do another. If you complete your articles assignment by its due date and time, you will get an “A” for this assignment. If you do only eight articles you will get a B, if you do seven you will get a C and if you do only six you will get a D. Andmake sure you keep copies of what you submit until you are told by Dr. Reynolds that your article was graded and recorded! Then keep your graded work until you receive your class grade!
