Pop Culture Revolution
Imagine that you are selected as the screenwriter for a new Back to the Future film. Your sponsors ask that you select a modern figure from popular culture and send him or her back to the time of the American Revolution. How will your individual respond to the American Revolutionary efforts? You will write a short narrative of their adventures. This can be written as an essay, play, or short story. Utilize the Microsoft® Word® template in Doc Sharing.
An important note: You may not use someone holding a political office. Aim for creativity in your choice.
You should introduce the figure that you have chosen. This will require some research on their life, beliefs, and experience. Give a biographical context to the person you are sending back to this time period.
The Assignment must include at least two specific historical elements or instances that led to the American Revolution. Discuss the events or decisions that needed to be made in the Revolution and how you feel your figure would react to these occurrences. In addition to referencing the Reading (Chapter 12 or other chapters of your textbook), cite other credible sources that support your main points of discussion and your overall proposition. Be sure to cite all sources using the APA 6th edition style guide, which is available under Course Home.
The essay should be 500–750 words and include source citations. Complete the Assignment using the Microsoft Word template in Doc Sharing. Follow the formatting guidelines put forth by the APA 6th edition style of writing. Regardless of your choice to write your narrative as an essay, play, or short story, you must begin your assignment with an introduction (with a thesis) and conclude your Assignment with a conclusion.
