Course Project Milestone 1: Outline
Directions
Make sure to read the entire assignment below before you begin the work necessary for Milestone 1.
For Milestone 1, you will need to write one paragraph stating your topic for the project. Make sure to state the event you are writing about as well as the historical figure whose involvement will be included in your essay. Also include your preliminary thesis statement in this paragraph as well. Then, provide a preliminary outline for your project. The outline should be as detailed as possible so your instructor can see what you intend to do and offer suggestions.
For the Course Project, you will write about an historical event between 1865 and the present day from US history including a historical figure who participated in the event as a focal point. Here are some examples:
The March on Washington including Martin Luther King, Jr. – I CHOSE THIS ONE
September 11th 2001 including George W. Bush.
The attack on Pearl Harbor including Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The ratification of the 19th Amendment including Alice Paul.
The Cuban Missile Crisis including John F. Kennedy.
You will need to research not only the event, but also the historical figure. Your final paper must be 5–7 pages of text, plus a title page and APA-formatted reference page. You can include one properly cited graphic, such as a picture, map, or graph if you like. You must use and cite at least 5 scholarly sources from JSTOR or the FSCJ Library Database (scholarly articles). JSTOR is accessed from the FSCJ Library webpage.
