Assignment:

Historical Methods

First Reflective Paper

At the end of the semester, you will write a related paper, Reflective Paper II, which will demonstrate what you now think History is about and how your understanding of the nature and practice of History has developed throughout this course.

You will develop an informal statement explaining what "history" is and why it is worthwhile to research and write history. The activity provides an initial self-assessment of what you already know about the issues involved in historical interpretation, and so it supports the course outcome to cultivate an identity as a historian. Develop a topic sentence for each paragraph.

Since the statement is informal, you may include your own opinions. It is not necessary to conduct research into course materials or other sources. Use active voice.

Based on your own knowledge and opinions now (at the start of the course), answer the following questions. The question to address in your paper has three parts to answer: How do you define History, why is it important to study history, and what would you like to do professionally as a historian and why that professional path?
