The purpose of this assignment is to use different historical methods to explore people and
events in history through a lens of personal and social responsibility. Studying history gives the
learners an opportunity to consider the importance of the decisions made, the effects those
decisions or events had and ultimately the final impacts those people or events had upon
history itself as well as how we study and understand history today. Every personal lends a
unique perspective to the history that they are studying, and this assignment allows the
learners to demonstrate their understanding of how their person or event impacted the world
and how they themselves have been impacted by the study of history as civically engaged
individuals
