Summary on American Constitution Essay
Humanities
Requirements (for each chapter, you are to write at least one page AND DO ALL PARTS – so two chapters, two total pages or more, the summary should have half-page long or more – please do the following):
Part I. Summarize the chapter – in your own words please. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE FROM THE TEXT OR OTHER OUTSIDE SOURCES OR I WILL DEDUCT POINTS. I’d prefer a paragraph format as opposed to bullet points or following the sections of the chapter, as some of you have been doing.
Part II. Define at least two terms
Part III. Find one other concept/term (not defined in part II) that you found interesting. Answer the following:
1) why did you choose this term?
2) any reactions/response to the concepts did they elicit from you
3) how the concept relates to you or to our current political situation.
Please provide examples. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE FROM THE TEXT OR OUTSIDE SOURCES OR I WILL DEDUCT POINTS
Example format:
Chapter 16
Part I
Part II
Part III
Chapter 17
Part I
Part II
Part III
Some additional considerations/requirements:
- 12 point font, double spaced, at least one page per chapter.
- You may bring in outside resources and cite properly (don’t plagiarize)
- Constantly ask yourself questions as you’re reading like “why” and “what do I think of this” and “how does it relate to me” as opposed to simply trying to memorize information, that’s not the purpose of this exercise.
