Primary Source selection for final project

Sorry about the belated post, but better late than never, right?

Just to jog your memory, here's the description of the assignment that appears on the syllabus:

Thematic Primary Source Analysis Presentation – Drawing on their chosen subtopic, students will select one primary source document and put together a 5-7 minute presentation that interprets its significance in light of their theme and the document’s importance to the wider history of Atlantic slavery. Students will use a digital presentation tool (e.g. Prezi, iMovie, Educreations, VoiceThread, Keynote, and the like) of their choice to design, record, and share their presentations on the class blog. Along with each presentation, students will also need to submit a Chicago Style bibliography that cites the sources they used in their research.

So, as promised in class on Tuesday, I put up this post so that each of you could reply in the comments writing what primary source will be the focus of your final project and including a hyperlink to that source.

Remember, that the primary sources need to relate to your chosen theme for the course. If you're having some difficulty, please email me ASAP so we can talk about what you might be interested in and then work to hunt something down that you'll find interesting.

Finally, also remember that this primary source analysis is one that you're putting together in a multimedia format that can be uploaded and shared via this blog. YouTube is lousy with tutorials about how to record presentations in the various programs and websites that I've listed above. Check those our for some guidance on how to put those together.

Here's one example related to Keynote:
