This first assignment has multiple objectives: (Research – Think – Argue)

historical topic
3. Using specific and detailed historical facts to support their argument (the ‘Evidence’)

5. Referencing their sources using both in-text citations as well as a Works Cited page (MLA9
required)
6. Asking students to think of the connections between our present day and past historical
moments/events around the world, and across time….
Question:
Todays’ global world is full of news of events and things happening all around the planet, from
Montreal to Russia, Southeast Asia, Africa, South America…. Etc. Economies are changing and
evolving; people are immigrating and moving from one region to another; wars are erupting all
over the world every decade; different groups of people are persecuted for various reasons; and
in some places governments and nations are becoming more progressive or authoritarian …..at
times it’s discouraging to see our global world in such disarray…..
But if we look at our historical past, these kinds of things have been happening for centuries, so
has our world really changed? Would you argue that our present-day world has changed
significantly from the past, or do our contemporary global challenges and events bear a
resemblance to the past? If we could time travel back in time and place to explore this
connection, where would you go and in what way does it connect to or inform our
present?
