History: Milestone: Draft outline element

For each Project Period, students will be asked to complete a "Draft Outline Element" for each of the Project Period Questions. This is Step 3 after the Draft Argument Structure assignment that has already been completed. The goal of the Draft Outline Element is to practice connecting evidence to question activities. When this step is complete, students will also gain specific feedback towards their progress in completing their Project Period Outlines. Now that we know what the questions are asking, how we are planning on answering them, and having gathered some evidence to do so, now is a great time to get some feedback on ONE particular element of EACH of your draft outlines. In particular, feedback will be focused on how clear your argument element is in outline form and how effectively you have selected evidence to demonstrate your argument. Format: Your Draft Outline Element should essentially be a single snippet of each outline that you are building right now. Each snippet should clearly state the Project Period Question, what activity you are outlining of the given Project Period Question, and several pieces of evidence to demonstrate your claim (answer) to the specific activity. You are not required to do multiple elements per question, just ONE. Pick an activity and start outlining your argument. A template is provided for guidance: Outline Element Template (Links to an external site.) An example is provided for demonstration purposes: Example Outline Element (Links to an external site.) Completion Process: 1. Identify the Project Period Question Activity that you want to address (one for each question). 2. Then dig into the evidence you have been gathering that will help you answer the activity. Pay particular attention to HOW the evidence helps you answer the activity. 3. Then build a bullet point outline snippet that makes a claim to answer the activity and demonstrates that claim by presenting evidence and explaining how it advances your claim.. Submissions: PDF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, and RTF are all acceptable formats. In addition, you may submit a “Share Link” if you are using a service like Google Docs or Microsoft Word Online Grading: This assignment is graded by credit/no credit. If you make a good faith attempt at the assignment, full credit will be given. Missing required elements will result in no credit.
