Identify the topics and say something about their historical significance. Also be sure to make at least 2 references to the weekly online lectures in each topics paper. For example, “Professor Putney says that Teapot Dome epitomized the corruption of the Harding Administration.” “Professor Putney thinks that flappers helped to advance the cause of women’s rights.”
The paper should cover 3 historical topics that the student found to be of interest either in the textbook or in the “Overview” section.
For example, a student writing about the 1920s could cover the Teapot Dome scandal, the Scopes Trial, and Laissez Faire Economics. Try to write about the 20th century and forward.
