Content
The journal is designed to highlight course themes by relating them to specific developments in the history of the monarchy. A list of suggested readings will be provided for each topic, but most entries can be written from materials in the lectures, discussions, and site visits.  ONE entry is required for each topic.  Short answers on the final exam will come from the journal entries. See below for daily topics.

Format
Entries should be written in essay form.  Each essay should be between 250-500 words, typed or handwritten neatly, and placed in a loose leaf notebook.  You may include photos, maps, brochures, or drawings to illustrate your points.

Due Date
Journals should be completed to use for the final exam. You may either turn them in after the exam, email them to me at mccandlessa@cofc.edu, or post them to me at Department of History, College of Charleston, Charleston, SC 29424 by 30 August. Please include your home address on the title page if you would like the journal returned to you.
