Use this bibliography to choose your article for the Article Assessment Journal 1. You may also choose a different article relevant to the topics discussed in your readings this week. Still, please get prior approval for the article from your instructor to ensure that you are working with an article you can get credit for. In future weeks, you will research your own journal articles.

This bibliography can give you an idea of the different ways you can address the week’s theme: You can look at the exploration of a particular country/region or by a particular country/people/religious group. You can look at the impetuses behind exploration or the impacts (good or bad) of particular explorations or explorations in general. Your goal should be to research something outside what you have studied in US history or a Western Civilization class.
