History Assighnment

ONLY PAYING $10 . DO NOT BIT higher

For this assignment, you need to visit the National Archives Experience.
Historians typically use two types of materials: primary sources and
secondary sources. Secondary sources are typically books and articles
written on a particular historical event well after the fact. Primary
source documents are usually generated by first-hand participants or by
people who were alive at the time of particular events. Good historians
rely heavily on original materials created at the time of the event. For
this reason, historians spend a good deal of time in archives. There
are many types of archives, but by far, the largest in the United States
is the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

The
National Archives contains more than 10 billion documents, and they
have collected over 1,200 of those in the National Archives Experience.
After you have opened the above link, click on “continue” in the bottom
right corner. This will take you to the Experience site. Here, you can
select a topic and collect documents relevant to that aspect of history.
The system will then allow you to create posters or even a video.

There
are a number of ways that you can complete this assignment. Once you
have collected your documents, you can create three posters, a video, or
a PowerPoint, or you can use your documents as material for a 3-5 page
essay. Naturally, you will need some other information, and you can
gather that through the Internet or from various books and articles. It
is best to avoid using textbooks.
