Imagine you are a historian reflecting on this period in history. You've been asked to create a product that describes the Spanish American War or the building of the Panama Canal to today's population. For this assessment, you may write either a newspaper article or a storybook about the causes, motivations, and effects of the Spanish-American War or the building of the Panama Canal.
If you choose to write a newspaper article, be sure you include the following information:
a headline
the reasons for the event
the incidents leading up to the main event
accurate details on what took place during the event
the results of the event
Your newspaper article should include a paragraph for each main topic in the article.
Your article should be written in no larger than a 12-point font. You may include clip art or images. Be sure to cite your sources.
