Exercise #3: Connecting Past and Present

Instructions

For Exercise #3, you will make connections between what you have learned in the course about the past and what is happening today through contemporary media.

  • Find two recent media items thematically connected in some way to two of the three topics covered in Unit 3: conservation, parks, and urbanization. For each of these, post a paragraph of three to five sentences, connecting the media story to what you learned, or were challenged to consider, from the resources in Unit 3. Provide the web link to the article in each post.
  • These postings may be informal but should be grammatically correct. You should be respectful of other students’ opinions, but that does not mean you must agree with their ideas.
  • Post your response by clicking ‘Add Submission’ below.
  • Then post two separate comments responding to any other student’s posts.
  • Please note, you should write and edit your submission in a separate file then copy and paste it into the submission box. Once submitted to the HIST 3991 trubox site, you will not be able to edit your post.
