Primary Source Forum 1 (Module 1) Discussion Board Academic Help
Need help with my History question – I’m studying for my class.
Examine the primary sources in the McGraw-Hill textbook for Module 1. In the Primary Source Discussion Board Forum, your thread must address one of the following questions:
- Using specific examples, explain which primary source is most interesting to you and why.
- Using specific examples, please offer an assessment of The Chinese Exclusion Act.
- Using specific examples, explain why you think Henry Grady’s ideas were important for the development of the South.
Each thread must be 200–250 words and demonstrate specific knowledge of the primary sources in the case study. In addition to the thread, reply to the threads of at least two classmates. Each reply must be 75–150 words. Show respect for other students’ opinions. Inappropriate language will not be tolerated and will result in a failing grade on this assignment. Your grade will be based on the quality of the content of your posts as well as the quality of your writing.
As you participate in the Primary Source Discussion Board Forum, keep in mind Luke 1:1–4—“Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word have handed them down to us, it seems fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order…so that you might know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.” In these verses, we can find guidance in how to approach the study of history. Note Luke’s emphasis on sources (“eyewitnesses”), meticulous study (“having investigated everything carefully”), and pursuit of the truth (“so that you might know the exact truth”). As Christian scholars, we need to approach our subjects with integrity and base our conclusions on careful research and solid evidence.
