/in /by

For your Final Project, you may write a paper or create a PowerPoint presentation.

  • If you choose to write a paper,      it must be four to five pages in length, plus a title page and reference      list, formatted according to APA style.
  • If you choose to create a PowerPoint      project, it must be 12 to 15 slides, plus a title slide and a reference      slide, formatted according to APA style. Be sure to save your presentation      as a PDF before submitting it to Waypoint.
  • Please note       that whether you choose to write a paper or create a PowerPoint       presentation, you must properly cite your sources according to APA style.

To complete this project

  • Choose from one of the topics      below and analyze its history from 1877 to the present.
  • Select four specific events or      developments that span the years covered by this course, based on their      impact on the topic. Two of the events must be from before 1945 and two      events must be from after 1945. You must assess how the events in      relationship to the topic changed over time and explain how the changes      occurred. Please refer back to your Week Three Assignment, consider your      instructor’s comments and make any necessary revisions.
  • Write an introduction with a      thesis. Your thesis should summarize the main conclusions that you      discovered while researching your topic and that you will support with a      logical argument based on evidence (sources). Please refer back to your      Week Three Assignment, consider your instructor’s comments, and make any      necessary revisions to your thesis statement.
  • Connect each of the events or      developments you have chosen back to your main thesis. The information      presented must be organized and in chronological order.
  • You must use at least four sources      in your paper other than the textbook, with at least two primary      sources and at least two secondary      sources. Please refer back to your Week Three Assignment, consider      your instructor’s comments, and make any necessary revisions.

Choose one of the following topics:

  • Native Americans/American      Indians
  • African Americans
  • Immigrants
  • Women

For example, a student writing a paper about the topic African Americans might choose the Harlem Renaissance and the Black Power Movement as two of their events. In that case, the paper would provide a description of the two movements. It would explain what each one revealed about the role of African Americans in broader American society in, respectively, the 1920s and the late 1960s, explain how and why the roles of African Americans in the 1920s differed from their roles in the late 1960s, and explain how events in the 1920s may have contributed to developments in the later decade.

If you choose to create a PowerPoint presentation: You should use visual elements to contribute to your explanation of the topic. PowerPoint presentations should avoid plagiarism and have proper APA citations for all source material either in the note section at the bottom of each slide, or on the last slide of the show indicating sources for each slide. The final slide must be a correctly formatted reference list containing all of your sources. You may use non-scholarly sources for your images, but not for the text of the presentation.
