Use the program or software of your choice to redesign your primary source Newspaper about Cholera if it is savable and viewing the finished product does not require a subscription of some sort.
i) ”Re-write history” (so to speak) by correcting a primary source and making it more historically accurate.
ii) Using the primary source attached “Cholera” AND the secondary source information gathered with the primary source attached, redesign the primary source so that it is more historically accurate.
iii) To redesign your primary source, you can keep the original layout and make changes directly to it OR you can create an entirely new version that still addresses the same subject and has the same purpose. You can redesign the text, the imagery, the formatting, etc.
iv) Your primary source redesign should be the same size/length as the original version (ie. a newspaper article that is half a page should still be half a page when redesigned; a propaganda poster that is one page should still be one page when redesigned, etc.).
vi) Once you have completed the redesign of your primary source, write a 2–4-page (double-spaced) reflection paper that discusses the process you undertook
Upload this written piece as a separate file with your redesigned primary source. In your reflection, include information such as:
– why was the primary source redesign your preferred method of communication?
– who is your target audience?
– if you could travel back in time, where would you choose to have this redesigned primary source placed?
– how did you decide on the redesign of your primary source? What needed to be changed?
– what are the key takeaways of your redesigned primary source?
– do you think your redesigned primary source effectively communicates information? If so, why?
