Use the REQUIRED textbooks listed in the READING Materials section of the CONTENT area and showcase the history discovered by specifying the exact PAGE in the book that you found the HISTORY discussed. You may use additional scholarly sources, but the textbook must be used and connected with exact pages to show that reading and comprehension work has been done for this week. No formal citation is required for these discussions, but please review the prompt carefully for follow-ups and research-based essay tasks. As you should be referring to your textbook, you do NOT need formal footnotes, as the only item needed is the page number. Whereas formal citations require more specifics.
Please answer one of the instructor-provided questions below. The answers should come from your textbook, the lectures, videos, and then (if you have already cited your textbook), you may include any research you conducted in the APUS Library. Please be advised that the Library contains thousands of sources (ranging from dictionaries to peer-reviewed journals). Reflect upon your understanding of sources and think critically about which are the strongest (if you are using sources from the library). Do NOT pursue vague websites, and refrain from using the internet for this Discussion.
