Assignment task: You must first be sure there is sufficient information available to write your summary. DO NOT select a topic which has limited source information or is fictional (Biblical cases, the Trojan Horse, etc.).
Share your topic here in this assignment and I will review and approve, or we will have a discussion about appropriateness, context, focus, and depth. I want to make sure you have a topic that will allow you to be successful.
Remember, this summary asks you to "critique" the operation of your choice. That means drawing your own conclusions and presenting those conclusions as your thesis/premise for the summary. You can use the M and A approach for an evaluation of success or failure, you can use evaluate the operation on the main components of every D&D operation (per your readings). In the end, your summary is not a history summary, it is a critical evaluation.
