I’m working on a history project and need a sample draft to help me study.

PROMPT

This paper begins with a broad premise: select a personal artifact and connect that artifact to a broader history. The personal artifact can be anything that is currently, or once was, in your possession. Souvenir, clothing, photograph, book, computer, furniture, anything. Essentially, think of this as show-and-tell but for a college level history class.

Once you have identified your artifact, your Personal Reflection must do the following, although not necessarily in this order:

• Tell the story of how you acquired the artifact.
• Discuss the personal meaning of the artifact.
• After some independent investigation and research, discuss how your artifact tells a larger history. 
  • This can mean American history; West Indian history; Chinese history; labor history; history of race; music history; sports history; television history; any kind of history, so long as you make the connection.
