Directions
Make sure to read the entire assignment below before you begin the work necessary
for Milestone 1.
For Milestone 1, you will need to write one paragraph stating your topic for the
project. Make sure to state the event you are writing about as well as the historical
figure whose point of view you will be writing from. Include your preliminary thesis
statement in this paragraph as well. Then, provide a preliminary outline for your
project. The outline should be as detailed as possible so your instructor can see
what you intend to do and offer suggestions.
For the Course Project, you will write about a historical event between 1865 and the
present day from the perspective of a historical figure who participated in the event.
Here are some examples: You may NOT use one of these examples…
The March on Washington from the perspective of Martin Luther King, Jr.
September 11th 2001 from the perspective of George W. Bush
The attack on Pearl Harbor from the perspective of Franklin D. Roosevelt
The ratification of the 19th Amendment from the perspective of Alice Paul
The Cuban Missile Crisis from the perspective of John F. Kennedy

Milestone 1: Outline Rubric
Criteria Ratings Pts
The Cuban Missile Crisis from the perspective of John F. Kennedy
You will need to research not only the event, but also the historical figure, and write
the paper “in character.” Your final paper must be 5–7 pages of text, plus a title page
and APA-formatted reference page. You must include properly cited graphics, such as
pictures, maps, and graphs if you like. You must use and cite at least 5 scholarly
sources; Wikipedia, encyclopedias, and websites that are intended for a general
audience are not scholarly sources. You may supplement (not replace) the 5 scholarly
sources with news articles. Be sure to check out the New York Times and other
newspaper databases included in the FSCJ library catalog.
