In part one you will write about a quote from history – the time period we are studying 1650 to the present.

Part Two —
The second objective, in the same document, you will write “Why we study history”.
Peter Stearns has a great article on this which will help you get started: https://www.historians.org/about-aha-and-membership/aha-history-and-archives/archives/why-study-history-%281998%29
