The assignment wants to know how you would write a story based on a historical period of your choice. As I cannot know which period you prefer, I cannot write your answer, but I will help you to write it.

<h3>Steps to present an effective story</h3>
  1. Enter the historical period of interest to you.
  2. Show what makes this period interesting and why it would be important to your story.
  3. Show the context of your story.
  4. Show how the main character is important to this story.
  5. Show the location and conflicts that the story would present.
  6. Show why your readers would be interested.

You can search for important historical moments to identify one that sparks your interest. You must research this period to promote historically correct ideas, even if your story is fiction.

Here is an example of what your answer should look like:

<em>My story would take place at the time of colonization when European pilgrims settled in America and had to dispute territory with the indigenous people. In this story, my main character would be an indigenous hero, who would organize a resistance group in his tribe, to fight the Europeans and protect his people from exploitation and extermination. The story's conflict would be established between the Indians and the Europeans and the story would have many scenes of struggle and action. I believe that this story would be interesting for the reader because we know little from the indigenous point of view since what happened in this period was told by Europeans.</em>
