If the link is not working try searching YouTube for the name of the video (it is about 1:47.03 long)

Instructions:

• Your write-up is an essay which should be a minimum of 2 full pages long and likely much longer. You may choose either 10 or 12 point font, and you do not need citations if you only are using the video.
  • The top line should have your name and the name of the video.
  • The second line begins your write-up.
  • Please use Word to write-up.
• In your write-up up address at least 3 important historical aspects (highlight each of the main ideas in red), 3 important economic aspects (highlight each of the main points in blue), and 3 things that you found interesting (highlight each in gold). Please highlight only a few key words for each. Then I want you to explain why each of your highlighted segments are important. Explain them as if you were explaining them to someone who is interested but has a very limited knowledge of the subject.  For example, your sixth grade teacher has asked you to come in to her class and explain the importance of each of your highlighted pieces to her class so that they will be able to take a quiz on the material after you leave.
