This is your final longer term project designed to help you understand the fundamental processes and value of studying history. In the first project, you completed the Topic Exploration Worksheet on one of the topics or themes from the research kit. You investigated the types of research you might need to do to learn more about the topic and developed research questions. In Project 2, you used this worksheet to complete a research plan and introduction. You selected one of your research questions and did some secondary source research, speculated on primary source needs, and used the information to write the introduction and thesis statement for a possible research paper. In the third project, you will create a multimedia presentation that explores both major developments in historical inquiry as well as the value of examining history. This assessment addresses the following course outcomes: ● Investigate major developments in the progression of historical inquiry for informing critical questions related to historical narrative ● Articulate the value of examining historical events for their impact on contemporary issues Prompt Now that you have done some research with primary and secondary sources (using only the sources provided in the research kit for your chosen topic) and written an introduction for a possible history paper, you will turn your attention to thinking about the creation and value of historical inquiry. You will use the research you have done throughout this course, as well as course materials, to inform your thoughts. To present your opinions and observations, you will create a multimedia presentation (using a presentation tool such as PowerPoint or Prezi) that addresses the following critical elements. While these questions may seem “big,” remember that you are addressing them in a presentation, not a paper, and can use bullet points, visuals, or other methods. These critical elements will be evaluated from the information you provide in your multimedia presentation of 10–12 slides. Note: If using Prezi, be sure to include a word document with notes. If using PowerPoint, be sure to use the speaker notes feature.All of the instructions of the projects are attached below.

Did the primary sources (from both books) agree with the historians George Herring (Fighting in Cold Blood: LBJ’s conduct of limited war in Vietnam) and Loren Baritz (God’s country and American Know-how)?How did the common US serviceman view his/her role in the war?What parallels can you draw to recent wars or current US deployment of troops?Make sure to post to this discussion board in small bites. Be critical and provide plenty of details.
