Conclusion/Summary:
Summarize your time capsule in a concluding paragraph. What should a reader in the future learn about the current era after reviewing your time capsule?
Please feel free to include examples that you discovered in your studies this term; incorporate the course materials in your time capsule. Challenge yourself to choose items that might be valuable for the future, though they might not necessarily be your favorites. The course materials are required sources for the unit 9 Final Project; feel free to incorporate additional outside sources as well. Add citations and references for all consulted sources. Complete the project using the Microsoft Word template in Doc Sharing.
APA formatting:
Incorporate APA citations throughout the time capsule as well as a references section at the end of the time capsule. Review the APA quick reference guide on the left-hand sidebar under course home for APA formatting guidelines. As always, contact your instructor if you have questions.
Your Final Project must be original work written for this class. This means that you must be the author and you must not have turned in your project, or another version of it, for a grade in this or another class. Turning in a project written by someone else is plagiarism and will not be tolerated, in accordance with the Kaplan University plagiarism policies described in the course Syllabus.
In addition, the items included in this time capsule must be selections for which you have not previously received a grade in this course. For example, if you reviewed a song by the Dave Matthews Band for the music discussion in Unit 7, you should not use that same song as your song example for the Final Project.
