United States History II Students should be able to compare and contrast the United States to other world cultures, discussing similarities as well as differences among them. Provide a response (3-4 paragraphs) that clearly and concisely addresses the general education learning outcome (GELO) below. Write a response that clearly and concisely addresses the student learning outcome topic below. Topic- Explain similarities and differences between the United States and Britain in 19th and early 20th centuries (Please note that this means you use supporting information such as data, quotations, and/or examples in your paper and that you cite them using endnotes, footnotes, or parenthetical citations). **Important: Center your answer on information covered in this class or that is in your textbook. Do not “re-invent the wheel.” Draw upon what you have already learned in this course and apply that knowledge when answering the question. For instance, compare one of the countries’ heritage as a British colony with the U.S. or show common or opposing policies toward imperialism/global expansion. DO NOT write something like, “Mexico and the U.S. are similar because people in both countries eat tortillas and go to church.” (No stereotypes please) Also, if you are going to draw upon personal experiences, be sure to back them up with evidence and support from a reputable, scholarly source. ** Please attach your response in the form of a paper that is a Word, Rich Text, or PDF file. Include your name, the title of your paper, and the class section on a cover page. All papers should be submitted in twelve-point Times New Roman font using the template for 8 x 11inch white paper. Use a one-inch top and bottom margin and double space. The left and right margins should be 1.25 inches. Be sure to include page numbers (do not number the first page). Do not include pictures. Do not plagiarize! You will receive a grade of zero for a plagiarized paper. A good rule of thumb is to footnote any place you use more than three or four of another author’s words. Please consult www.plagiarism.org for tips on avoiding plagiarism. Include your bibliography. (This one should be “unannotated.”) Be sure to use at least three references. One of the references should be your textbook for this class. (united states history 2 volume 2 9th edition) No more than one of the references should be an encyclopedia. At least one of your sources should be a scholarly journal article. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud0U-NWuIj8) Do not use Wikipedia. It is quick and easy, but it is not a very dependable scholarly text. Cite your sources using footnotes, endnotes, or parenthetical citations in Turabian or Chicago styled notation.
