You are asked to find two newspapers from the time period and to read and review the articles. Importantly, you cannot choose the same dates for each paper. Meaning if you choose November 22, 1963 for one newspaper, you cannot choose that for the other. Therefore, you could choose November 22, 1963 and then November 23, 1963. In addition, the articles you choose may be from the same newspaper. For example, you may choose the New York Times for 11/22/63 and 11/23/63 or the Tennessean on 12/7/41 and 12/8/41.
Address the following: - A brief overview of the event.
- What made you choose this particular date and event? Do you have a personal connection to it?
- What made it so important?
- Who/what were the key figures involved?
- Did this have a significant impact on the United States?
- What are the similarities/differences in the coverage of the event/person (if you choose the same event)?
