Short responses
HIS 200 Week 5 Short Response Guidelines and Rubric Overview: The short response activities in the webtext throughout this course are designed to show your understanding of key concepts as you engage with course content. Prompt: During the fifth week of the course, you will respond to several questions in the webtext as you complete each learning block. At the end of Week 5, you will review your answers to these questions and ensure that you have responded to each question. It is important that you answer each question, otherwise, the words “[no response]” will appear in brackets when you submit the assignment. The questions and their original locations in the webtext are listed in this table in case you want to refer back to the reading as you edit, but you can edit your responses to all the questions directly in Theme: Analyzing History, learning block 5-4 (page 5), before exporting to Word for submission to your instructor in the learning environment.

Question 1 In the space below, specify which historical lens you would like to use for this exercise. Theme: Analyzing History, Learning Block 5-1 (page 1)

Question 2 Next, formulate a research question about the civil rights movement (historical time from 1954 – 1968), using the lens you have chosen.
