At the end of the year students will be completing a cumulative project in which they will have to use historical evidence to solve and defend their answer to the following question “Which person, event, or idea was the most influential in the shaping of the modern world?” Students will be required to present and defend their findings orally in front of the class, and in a written essay. The essay will be five pages in length and formatted in the Chicago Style. This assignment will be further explained throughout the course.
