5: Communication
Choose up to two assignments from your archive that demonstrate the following History learning goal and link the files directly to this page, following the instructions at the bottom.
Present historical information and arguments clearly and properly.
Communicate complex historical ideas through clear and persuasive writing.
Communicate historical information and ideas in effective public presentations.
Demonstrate the ability to write for a discipline-specific audience by integrating disciplinary concepts in writing and following conventions of history writing.
Communicate original perspectives on the past through the presentation of complex sources and arguments.
Use this portion of the page to:
introduce your work with a reflection and explain how/where it demonstrates that particular concept or skill. This might take you anywhere from a paragraph to a page. The whole paper need not be perfect and need not meet every last detail of the learning outcome.
analyze your own work’s shortcomings. This demonstrates the kind of higher order thinking we expect of History majors; we encourage you to be critical in your assessment.
explain what you did and what you might do differently, were you to do it again or take the project further in the future.
