Unit IV Scholarly Activity

With the times quickly changing, and the recent division among those who support the Federalists and Anti-Federalists, public rallies in the town center have become a common thing.

For the next rally, you have been asked to give a speech regarding the side you support. After choosing which side to support, use the PowerPoint reading from this unit to choose a minimum of four of the six bullets from slide two titled, “Quick Comparison,” as the basis for your speech. Using these four bullets you have selected summarize how this political divide would evolve into the two-party system.

Your speech must be a minimum of two (2) pages. A minimum of two (2) reputable sources must be used, cited, and referenced, only one of which can come from the required reading section.

Unit V Test Assessment

Question 1

Other than ceasefire, what do you feel is the most significant cultural result of the War of 1812 on today? Why? Your response must be at least 75 words in length.

Answer

Other than the ceasefire, the most significant cultural results of the 1812 war today are many. However, depending on how one may define the term, the war of 1812 had a few significant cultural results, which still impact today’s society both negatively and positively. For example, such effects may be felt on the relations with other countries such as Britain. The war was perceived as a second revolutionary war, which made Britain restore the status quo with the United States.

Question 2

Did Madison, Monroe, and John Quincy Adams successfully represent the Party as Jefferson intended when he founded it? Where might Jefferson have directly fought against his successors? Your response must be at least 200 words in length.

Unit VI Outline

So far in this course, we have introduced and assessed many noteworthy figures related to the colonizing and first 90 years of the United States. For this assignment, you will choose a significant figure who contributed to and influenced others during the time discussed in this course—with the exception of any U.S. President—and prepare an outline of how you would choose to communicate that figure’s relevance to today. This is not a biography. Your argument should highlight how society remembers your historical figure now. 

For this assignment, you will be creating a one-page outline (minimum of 300 words) about your chosen figure and how he or she impacted the evolution of American philosophies or ideals. If you choose, this could be used to help write your transcript for the Unit VII assignment, which is described below. Your outline will need to be uploaded for this unit, and it is suggested, though not required, that you include potential sources.

The goal of this assignment is to prepare you for the Unit VII assignment described below. However, it is not required that you use the same person from your outline in the Unit VII assignment. If you do intend to use this outline in Unit VII, however, it is highly advised that you review and prepare using the instructions for that assignment in mind.

  Unit VII Scholarly Activity

 In this course, we have introduced and assessed many noteworthy figures related to the colonizing and first 90 years of the United States. For this assignment, you will choose a significant figure who contributed to and influenced others during the time discussed in this course—with the exception of any U.S. President—and prepare a tribute focusing on his or her relevance to today.

Potential examples include, but are not limited to, a videotaped speech, a self-guided PowerPoint presentation, or a video with audio. Creativity and effort will impact the final grade.

 Projects are due during Unit VII and will be graded on the following:

Prepare and submit a two-page reflection, ideally based on the outline assignment from Unit VI.

Create and submit a visual presentation with your reflection as an audio transcript.

Use a minimum two sources that can be found in CSU’s Online Library (at least one from the American History & Life database).

Proper citations and references for any use or identification of those sources must be used.

Length must fall within three to five minutes; in the case of PowerPoint, slides and audio should progress and stop automatically like a taped presentation.

Content accuracy and avoidance of anachronism are a must.

Many options exist to which you could use to make your recording, such as the following:

 Audacity- http://www.audacityteam.org

Online Voice Recorder- www.online-voice-recorder.com

Ipadio- www.ipadio.com   Webcam file and upload to YouTube.
