Historical Narrative Assignment:
You will locate an example of historical narrative-it may be an excerpt from an autobiography, it may be an interview, it may be a monologue from a film, it may even be a story told to you by an elder family member/close friend. What is important, is that the narrative be a personal account of narrative related to an event in history.
If the narrative is a monologue in a film or an oral story told to you via an in person meeting, you must draft a quick summary of the event or locate a copy on the internet and include the link for me to view. If the narrative is in writing, or a typed interview, simply include that written story in the beginning of your paper.
Your paper must include the following:
