Minor Project #1 Description
In a three-paragraph response, outline how your life has been impacted by world history. Be specific with your answer and try to connect your response to historical events, historical figures, or historical forces. Each paragraph should focus on one idea and develop that idea using relevant details.
For example, Mr. Gwozd knows that his great-great-grandfather passed away during the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1919. Accordingly, Mr. Gwozd could write one of his three paragraphs about this and develop the paragraph using specific details about the 1919 pandemic and how it impacted his family as well as the whole world.
