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 attack on Pearl Harbor from the perspective of Franklin D. Roosevelt

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.
