Research four (4) historical events from the approved “List of Historical Events
Research four (4) historical events from the approved “List of Historical Events” on eLearning andanalyze the event for site/date listed.
– Write a report of a minimum of 1000 words for each of the four events. Analyzing the history of each
event makes up a good part of your grade for the project. I will be looking to see that you analyze the
event/subject and show critical thinking about what happened, who was involved and their diverse
nature, how the people involved interacted with their society, what else was going on at the time
(historical context), how civic engagement was involved (or could have been), why it was important
then, why it’s important now, and how it relates to broader aspects of US history or other factors.
– Each report should have a minimum of 1000 words that includes:
o Name of Event, Location City, Date of Event in bold print at top of report.
o Description (this should be a paragraph or two): Give a brief overview of the event and where it
occurred. What was going on? Who was involved? What were their demographics (race,
ethnicity, religion, employment, gender, language, age, etc.)? How did they interact with
society?
Analysis (this should be the bulk of your report): Research and analyze the subject/event. Talk
about the diverse people who are involved. Get into the story. The following questions should
help you frame your analysis. You should answer all the questions below for each report and
really analyze the choices made and the significance of those actions. The goal is to show how
local (maybe individual) actions have bigger consequences (like in the case of civic engagement)
and, if no civic engagement occurred, to think critically about why that was and hypothesize
about how civic engagement could have been used.
What conflict existed? What were their competing interests/stories?
What diverse factors were at play? Did the person’s background affect their experience
and how they interacted with others at that time?
What were conditions like at the time? What else was going on at that time in US/world
history that may have played a role in this subject?
Was one group trying to change something? If so, what kind of change were they
attempting to achieve? How would this change affect the other side?
What were the choices available and what choices were made? What were the
consequences of those choices and effects of the actions taken?
How did individuals use their voice and/or actions in the public realm to try to make
change? If they didn’t use their voice/actions, why do you think this was? How might
they have been civically engaged to address a matter of public concern?
What can be learned from this event? Was there change? Was one group successful or
not successful?
Why was this event important then? Why is important now? How does this event fit into
our history—the story of us?
Give your final thoughts on the event that played out. What does this event symbolize to
you? You may want to ask family/friends if they are aware of the event that occurred at
that site and see what they know of its history.
ALSO: Bibliography& Citations
Each event should be thoroughly researched and analyzed using academic research comprised of
secondary sources. You should strive for at least three secondary sources (articles or books) that analyze
the larger historical topic represented for each event (please note that the academic sources are not for
the specific events themselves they are for the broader historical subjects/context of the site). For each
event, you are given an event and then a broader subject to help you know what to research. To do academic research, you will use works written by scholars. You should be looking at articles or books, not websites, as academic sources. Websites are fine to know more about the event itself, but not for historical analysis. You will likely want to use the Jstor database first since this resource is what historians around the nation use to get academic research. Secondly, I would use the Michigan Historical Review database. Thirdly, I would use Michigan History magazine database.
Provide a bibliography of all the research that you conducted. All works consulted should be included.
Bibliography must be in Chicago Manual of Style.
https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citatio…
Any information that needs to be cited, should be cited in a footnote using Chicago Manual of Style.
Make sure you are avoiding plagiarism at all costs.
If there are primary source documents or other information that you think will enhance the paper,
please include them in the bibliography. The research requirement is for secondary sources, not
primary though. You should focus your research on secondary sources.
You can use websites to better understand the events and those, too, should be listed in the bibliography
but they do not count for the three minimum academic sources for each event.
***THE FOUR EVENTS ARE:***
Event 1 (Activism): Flint Water Crisis
Event 2: (Gender): Rosie the Riveters and women’s contribution to WWII, Willow Run
Event 3: (Labor) Ford Hunger Strike at Ford River Rouge Plant
Event 4: (Race/ Ethnicity): Cross White case
