Your web project for the “Person of the Year” Award should include the following items:
- A welcome page that lists your name, the class, the subject/topic you have chosen.
- A page for the background of your subject/topic with historical information taken from reliable sources.
- A page for your analysis of why your subject/topic wins the “Person of the Year Award”. In other words, what impact did your subject/topic have on world history? Why is your subject/topic worthy of consideration?
- A page for bibliography that includes any books, websites, other historical sources, and images you used to compile your web project.
The website is due by the end of the semester. Here is some criteria for the subject/topic selection process:
- Why, based on historical evidence, is your subject eligible for the award?
- What influence did your subject have on shaping its American society?
- What historical impact has your subject had on “American history”?
You should be able to answer these questions thoroughly when picking a subject/topic for your web project. These questions should also be answered in your analysis.
MLA FORMAT:General Guidelines
- Double-space the text of your paper, no extra spaces between paragraphs, and use a legible font (e.g. Times New Roman). The font size should be 12 pt.
- Set the margins of your document to 1 inch on all sides.
- Indent the first line of paragraphs one half-inch from the left margin. MLA recommends that you use the Tab key as opposed to pushing the Space Bar five times.
- Do not make a title page for your paper unless specifically requested.
- In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor’s name, the course, and the date. Again, be sure to use double-spaced text.
- Double space again and center the title. Do not underline, italicize, or place your title in quotation marks; write the title in Title Case (standard capitalization), not in all capital letters.
