Reminders before getting started
The criteria for this assignment is to:
  • List multiple events in each category. 
  • Correctly categorize and explain events and why they were included. Elaborate on the relationship between events (e.g. how an underlying cause relates to other underlying causes).
  • Use a variety of sources of information.  This requires keeping track of sources during the research process and then, at the very least, providing their links or properly formatted citations.
