Instructions
Primary Source Analysis Essay
Your essay will require you to prepare a substantive research-based project that explains the goals and beliefs of different people in this historical period. You must select a validated written primary source document and write a thoughtful, analytic essay on both the meaning and significance of the source and its subject within a greater historical framework. I will offer further instruction including formal guidelines for this project during the semester.
This course will rely upon a variety of instructional methods to convey the course material to the students. Our classes will rely predominantly upon instructor lectures and instructor-led discussions. From time to time, however, students will have the opportunity to conduct group work, usually for the purpose of creating thoughtful, analytical answers to questions relating to primary source material. Students will also be instructed to offer individual oral (and occasionally informally written) responses to various visual aids including political cartoons, paintings and portraits, photographs, and written primary source excerpts. Video excerpts may be infrequently employed to demonstrate a relevant, visual representation of the historical content currently under examination.

Humanities Homework Help. San Jose State University Elderly People Interview
You will interview a community-dwelling adult (not someone living in a long term care facility) who is at least 65 years of age. If you are 65+ yourself, be sure to interview someone who is different from you in some major way (such as sex, race/ethnicity, health status, and/or educational level). Telephone/face time/zoom/ etc. may be used unless interviewing an elder you live with and see on a regular, safe basis. Tip: focus on the present with some on the past depending on the questions but students make the mistake of not looking at the rubric and write mostly about their youth and this paper is about them now not when younger.
The person you interview can be a family member, a co-worker, someone you know from a religious or community organization, or someone completely new to you. It is strongly recommended that you consider talking to someone of a different ethnicity. Interview does not have to be in person due to risk of COVID-19 so do not put anyone at risk.
Conducting the Interview.
Tell the respondent that you are taking this course. They will be helping you by talking about past/present life experiences. Assure respondent that you will not use person’s name or breach confidentiality without their permission. Person can refuse to answer any questions and can stop the interview at any time. If the respondent is in reasonably good health, you can probably plan on getting what you need to know for this assignment in one session. However, if respondent is frail, you may need to have more than one session. During your interview, you should encourage the person to talk in a conversational way; if respondent is reluctant to discuss a topic, do not force an answer. You may give my number if the elder has any questions regarding this assignment.
DO NOT INCLUDE THE LIST OF THE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS in your paper~ You will be asking what is stated in this assignment and the rubric so that’s what I will be giving points for and grading–address the issues you’ll see listed on the following page and any questions you add that are not part of the assignment will not be graded:
The interview report will be graded on the basis of organization, clarity, and appropriate use of terms and concepts from class. I will pay particular attention to your discussion of gender, race, discrimination, culture, class, and education and how you integrate course objectives, lectures, discussions, readings, etc.
Cover the following issues and discuss the implications including the person’s strengths andlimitations in each category (you might even try asking what strengths or limitations the person relates to in each category as their answers may be different than what you think. (for ex: if elder is living with a son or daughter, you might think that might not be a good idea but they do!).
1.health: physical functioning (e.g., chronic illnesses, ADLs/IADLs)
2.health: psychological functioning (e.g., sad, grieving, happy, grateful, anxious, memory issues)
3.social relationships and roles (e.g., family ties, support network, class/gender issues)
4.cultural background (e.g., diversity, religion, values, discrimination)
5. economic situation (if the elder is reluctant to answer, do not push but make sure stated in paper why information wasn’t included in your paper)
6. housing situation and living arrangements (e.g., home (single story, 2-story, apartment –low income or not, retirement community, neighborhood- do they feel safe or not)A tip to capture all the information needed for this paper is to write down your questions in advance using simple everyday words (most elders do not talk about “functioning” or “social roles”)
You can either take notes during the interview, ask for permission to tape the interview, or set aside time to write notes immediately afterward but do not hand in your list of questions. This is an essay paper and instructor’s questions will be the expected answers addressed in your paper not your own questions that you make up.
Discuss the STRENGTHS and LIMITATIONS of the person in each area above, based on your conversation and observation. If the elder was reluctant to talk about a topic, say so. (You may be able to make some inferences based on observation. For example, if respondent doesn’t want to talk about finances, you can guess the economic status from observing the neighborhood, the house, and elder’s appearance or you might ask about the cost of prescription medications.) The strengths and limitation may be typed as you cover each topic or in a separate paragraph including all 6 topics at the end of your paper.
How is the identity of the elder you interviewed (e.g., religious, gender, ethnic, racial, class, sexual orientation, disability, and/or age) shaped by culture and societal influences within the context of equality and inequality?

Humanities Homework Help. Collin College American Civilization Discussion and Responses
PART 1: Answer the following prompt in 300 words.
Over the last two years massive Mayan cities and temples have been found in Central America. What does this tell us about our knowledge of past civilizations and in particular about what we know about the American Civilizations?

PART 2: Respond to TWO CLASSMATES
Classmate 1 (Craig)
In Mesoamerica, the period between the years 200 to 900 CE was called the “classic era”. According to The Earth and Its Peoples: A Global History, the Ancient Mayan civilization formed slightly before this period (~100 CE) and lasted until ~800 to 900 CE (193). It was a period of innovation, discovery, and political experimentation. During this time, Mayans built large expansive civic centers consisting of palaces, temples, tombs, irrigation canals, and even highways. Famous Mayan cities such as Tikal, Uaxactún, Copán, Bonampak, Dos Pilas, and others have amazed archeologists and quite frankly all of us. Modern-day technological advancements such as lidar (light detection and ranging radar) have uncovered new Mayan enclaves and the number is astonishing. According to Diane Davies, an archaeologist and Maya specialist based in the United Kingdom, “the total population in this period was once estimated to be a few million but in light of the new lidar data, she said it could now be closer to 10 million” (Fortin, 3). “This is a game-changer,” says Thomas Garrison, an archaeologist at Ithaca College who is one of the leaders of the project. It changes “the base level at which we do Maya archaeology.” (Kennedy, 1). Scientists used to spend years mapping ancient archaeological sites due to forestation which has encroached and obscured these sites over thousands of years. With lidar, scientists are able to map several hundred square miles in a matter of hours. The NPR article further states “By raining down laser pulses on some 770 square miles of dense forest in northern Guatemala, archaeologists have discovered 60,000 Maya structures that make up full sprawling cities” (Kennedy, 3). Scientists have literally just now discovered large areas of Guatemala are covered in Mayan settlements. Furthermore, with this new technology, scientists have more insight into how the ancient civilization functioned shedding light on farming practices and infrastructure, and also Mayan warfare. The new discoveries are an indication archeologists past and present know very little about Mesoamerican civilizations and there is so much more to learn.
Classmate 2 (April)
First off, I found these articles fascinating and exciting. I love that in the twenty-first century we are still making discoveries as significant as this about our history.
What these articles tell us about our knowledge of past civilizations is that we didn’t know nearly as much as we thought we did about our neighbors to the South. Thanks to the advent of LiDAR technology, scientists and archeologists have the ability to survey and map large areas of land in a much shorter period time than traditional excavation. What they have discovered is a civilization larger, older, and more advanced than previously believed.
We now know the Mayan civilization didn’t begin as a collection of small villages and grow slowly over time. From the beginning of their society, the Mayans existed as a vast network of city-states, connected by elaborate causeways. They were capable of designing and building monumental structures. Not all of these buildings were constructed in large settlements or organized by kings or other members of the ruling class. Thanks to advances in science and technology, such as LiDAR, archeologists also have a better understanding of the advanced methods employed by the Mayans in terms of agriculture, such as channeling water for hundreds of meters in order to irrigate huge systems of fields. We also know something of the warfare that took place between the states, thanks to the discovery of fortress and systems of interconnected watchtowers.
The Mayas were a fascinating people. In addition to giving the world the mathematical concept of zero, they created a written language of hieroglyphs, possessed a vast knowledge and understanding of mathematics and astronomy. They created not one or two, but three separate calendars. They were skilled agriculturists, builders, weavers, and potters. They understood the benefits of trade and built a series of trade routes.
