Course Project Milestone 2: Annotated Bibliography Assignment Solution
Course Project Milestone 2: Annotated Bibliography
Directions
Make sure to read the entire assignment below before you begin the work necessary for Milestone 2.
For Milestone 2 provide your final outline for the paper. Additionally, provide an annotated bibliography containing at least 8 scholarly sources for your paper, in APA format. An annotated bibliography provides the citation for each source, as well as approximately one paragraph for each source assessing its credibility and how it is useful in your research. The How to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography resource   (https://canvas.fscj.edu/courses/55457/files/6452758/download?download_frd=1) can help you as you develop your annotated bibliography.
For the Course Project, you will write about a historical event between 1865 and the present day from the perspective of a historical figure who participated in the event. Here are some examples: You may NOT use one of these topics.
The March on Washington from the perspective of Martin Luther King, Jr.
September 11th, 2001 from the perspective of George W. Bush
The attack on Pearl Harbor from the perspective of Franklin D. Roosevelt
The ratification of the 19th Amendment from the perspective of Alice Paul
The Cuban Missile Crisis from the perspective of John F. Kennedy
You will need to research not only the event, but also the historical figure, and write the paper “in character.” Your final paper must be 5–7 pages of text, plus a title page and APA-formatted reference page. You must include properly cited graphics, such as pictures, maps, and graphs if you like. You must use and cite at least 5 scholarly sources; Wikipedia, encyclopedias, and websites that are intended for a general audience are not scholarly sources. You may supplement (not replace) the 5 scholarly sources with news articles. Be sure to check out the New York Times and other newspaper databases included in the FSCJ library catalog.
