Resources: The Electronic Reserve Reading for this week, located on your student web page; and Appendixes A and C ? Due Date: Day 7 [Individual] forum ? Write a 1,750- to 2,050-word essay using APA formatting, addressing the following points: o Choose one social, economic, or political event that you studied from each of the five decades following World War II—1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s—that you think had a more powerful impact on the American people than other events within the same decade. o Introduce the paper with a short explanation of the overall purpose of the final project. o Conclude the paper by hypothesizing changes you anticipate to happen in the U.S. social, economic, or political climate of the next ten years. Explain the reasons for your hypothesis. o Review the Electronic Reserve Reading for this week, located on your student web page to get an idea of how you can present your hypothesis. Notice how you can trace the thread of a topic through the last five decades as you lead up to your prediction. Notice also how you can make personal comments—the hypothesis is an opinion, so you can show your bias. You are not expected to write as much as the supplemental reading, but it may be food for thought. o Use at least two references in each decade’s section of your paper. o Organize all sections into a unified, final paper with subtitles for each section. o Use Appendix C to verify that you have written a collegiate paper.
