or this project you are to find an individual who is at least one generation older than you, conduct an oral history interview, then write the “story” of their life. You are to use the standard oral history interview format, an example of which is provided in the attached Oral History Association guidelines. As part of the Oral History Project, you must provide a typed transcript of the interview questions and responses to show that you followed the proper format. Using information obtained during the interview, you will then write the “story” of your individual. This will be the easy part. The transcript has no page requirement other than that it obviously must be long enough to serve as the basis for a 5-7 page essay. The “story” paper must be typed, a minimum of 5 FULL pages to 7 pages in length, double-spaced, 12-point font, with reasonable margins. The Oral History Project is worth 100 points, 50% of which is the interview and typed transcript and 50% is the 5-7 page essay. The project must be submitted no later than 8:00 AM, May 6. This project offers an excellent opportunity to really get to know someone in your life, to learn history from a living, breathing source instead of from a textbook. NO LATE ORAL HISTORY PROJECT WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Transcript Format: The transcript should be single-spaced and generally conform to the following format. There are no length or page requirements, but it obviously must be long enough to write a 5-7 page essay. All of the information in the transcript does not have to be included in the essay, you can choose what you want to focus on. However, the essay should not contain information not included in the transcript, since that will tell me that your transcript is incomplete. In typing the transcript, you can include notes (in parentheses) about the interviewee’s emotional state, body language, your impressions, etc. that you can integrate into the essay.
Interviewer: Jane Doe (JD)
Interviewee: Sally Doe (SD)
Date of Interview: July 6, 2017
JD: Thank you for agreeing to be interviewed, I’m really excited to get to know more about your history. Would you tell me what your full name is and where you were born?
SD: You are quite welcome; it is an honor to be part of your project. My name is Sally Forsythe Doe, and I was born in Itaugua, Paraguay on August 14, 1933.
JD: Paraguay – I did not know that!
SD: I know, it’s sort of an unusual place to have been born.
Essay Format: Just use a standard essay format. It should be double-spaced with reasonable (default) margins, using a 12-point font, and 5 FULL pages – 7 pages in length (longer is ok, shorter is not). The essay can be written in the first or third person. You are telling the story of your interviewee’s life, their personal slice of history. You can add historical context if it seems necessary and you can include observations from the interviewee. For example, if your interviewee started smiling when relating a particular memory, you can put that in the essay. You are encouraged to include photographs that represent your interviewee’s life, but they do not take the place of regular text pages. The transcript records what was said in the interview, the essay is your interpretation of what was said. You are the storyteller, so make your interviewee’s history come alive

“Transforming a Plagiarized Outline into an Original 8-Page Report: Ensuring Proper Citations and Grammar”
I have an outline / draft written for a report This outline includes all the information , key points and the sources. The outline is very detailed and clear. the outline I created is all copy and paste from the sources I researched. so it is all palgerism now . I just need a writer who can take what’s on the outline and turn it into a 8 page report that is not plagerism.
I would like the editor to be able to create their own version of the report using the draft which is currently plagerized. I also need the editor to make sure there’s proper grammar and proper citations and sources -
Title: The Interactions and Dialogues of Islamic Tradition with Other Cultural Traditions: A Historical Perspective (From the Early Days of Islam to ~1258 C.E.)
“… As the Islamic tradition developed within its own terms, it was likewise interacting with other cultural traditions which were already present among the populations in which Islam was adopted. No tradition is isolable from others present in the same social context. (A culture, indeed, may be defined as a complex of interdependent traditions.) A creative event in any sphere of life is likely to have consequences in many fields; in any case, the interaction and dialogue in religious or artistic or political or scholarly settings overlap and merge … Islam found itself in a vital and multiple cultural environment. It was only as it entered into these other dialogues, in fact, that it could become significant for cultural life at large…” [1]
Write an essay that discusses this paragraph within the framework our class discussions, lectures, and your readings (both primary and secondary sources). I expect you to refer to a variety of historical phenomena (political, military, social, economic, scientific, linguistic, cultural, etc.) that shaped the Islamic civilization, as it interacted with other cultural traditions in general terms from the early days of Islam up to ~1258 C.E. The point of the exercise is to make you think about the history of the Islamic world and write a coherent essay that brings together various historical issues we discussed throughout the semester. I do not recommend the use of secondary sources for your essay. I am rather concerned with your interpretation based on your knowledge of the history of the Islamic world.
– Please don’t quote from other sources. If you absolutely need to quote a source, please give proper citation with footnotes and bibliography.
– Don’t copy and paste from the textbook just paraphrase
– Think about only the first 5 century’s
– In the thesis mention what are you going to talk about and your argument or arguments. Long enough to give the general word frame of the paper.
– 40% of the grade will be on your argument and 40% on how you support your argument. -

“The Interconnectedness of Western Civilization: How the Events, Ideas, and Movements of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries Shaped the Twentieth Century”
Over the course of the semester, we have explored the many different faces of Western Civilization in the modern era. While the course was organized into three different modules focused on three distinct phases of this era (the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries), the influence and legacies of many of the events, ideas, and movements explored early on in the course were apparent in implicit and explicit ways later on in the semester. Indeed, it is safe to say that it is impossible to understand twentieth-century Western history without appreciating the origins of this history in the philosophy, revolutions, colonialism, imperialism, and other developments in the West before 1900.
How did the events, ideas, and/or movements of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries influence the events, ideas, and/or movements of the twentieth century? In an essay of 3-5 pages, give your own evidence-based answer to this question. To do so, choose three events, ideas, and/or movements from the twentieth century and explain how they were influenced by happenings in the two preceding centuries. Be sure to use at least three non-textbook readings from the course in your essay (for example, Oroonoko, Resisters, Discourse on Colonialism, etc.). You may also cite my lectures and the textbook. Do not use sources from outside the class without seeking approval of the sources from me first. Doing so will result in a reduction of the grade for the essay.
All essays should:
Be at least 3 but no more than 5 pages;
Be typed, double-spaced, with one-inch margins;
Be written in Times/Times New Roman, 12-point font;
Include a title and your name on the first page. -

A. Discuss the history of race relations and civil rights in U.S. history from Reconstruction to the present.

What circumstances brought about the changes in government’s role, and what movements and programs were created to deal with those circumstances?
