Assignment #1 (Short Essay)This short essay is a response to the readings from the first four weeks (up to 2/10) of the course. It is best if you stick with one concept or idea as this is a short writing piece and you need enough space to develop your argument. (Don’t just summarize the readings. Look at the main concepts in the readings, how these are described, how the different authors describe events, how the agree or differ, etc. – again, the essay is not a summary of the readings, instead we want to hear your reactions to the readings, how you understand the concepts).Use formal writing conventions so that we can properly assess your comprehension, writing skills, and use of writing conventions.Use direct quotations sparingly (do not fill the paper with quotes. You can paraphrase but do give proper attribution to the source. The quotes you cite should be in support of your argument, and not instead of your argument.This assignment is due to Canvas by Sunday Feb, 13 at 11:59 pm (Minnesota time).
