I want you to reflect on the material you learned in chapter 4. Pick your favorite topic from chapter 4 and write from the American perspective (do not do a European history topic), hop into a time machine and travel back in time! You will write a journal entry in the first person / past tense that tells me who you are, where you are, the time-period, what you are experiencing and your hopes/fears for the future as if you were really there. Be specific about your moment, if you take on a broad time-period you will not be able to provide the necessary detail for this assignment. Your journal entry should include a minimum of five (5) historical facts, places, or people and will require the use of your textbook and additional research via the web or a library. Reflect on one day or one event and go into great detail to demonstrate your research. Do not write a summary. This is a mini-research paper!
