Pick 2 questions and write at least 400 words for each question; that’s a total of at least 800 words.

To answer a question adequately, be sure to use facts as supporting evidence. No need to cite any facts if they come from the text or the lecture docs, but make sure you cite facts correctly wherever you get them. If you cite information from outside sources, you will need to cite those MLA style, but no need for a reference/works cited page or anything. Remember, in history factual errors are a cardinal sin.
