Chosen The Alamo
This Historical Background Essay assignment is the third section of your Independent Inquiry Project.
The Historical Background Essay will apply a “test of credibility” to the public historical narrative of the site you have chosen for your project, which you already presented in your Infographic.
You will do this by detailing the history that was silenced in the making of the site’s publicly accepted historical narrative in 3 double-spaced pages.
In other words, this essay (and the research that you will do to write it) will identify, discuss, and critically analyze the silences and mis-interpreted “facts” that the historical narrative you presented in your Infographic is based on.
Identify, discuss, and critically analyze the silences and mis-interpreted “facts” that the historical narrative you presented in your Infographic is based on.
