Geography 110 COA – World Regional Geography

Homework #5 - Spring 2019

Directions:
For the assignment answer the following question in a 250-300 word essay. You will have to you the
textbook and only the textbook as your source of information. If you quote information from the
textbook you must include a parenthetical citation and include a citation for the textbook at the end of
your response (see below). My expectation is that you craft a quality response in your own words that
does not simply copy large sections of textbook material. When complete, submit your entry in the
assignment’s “Submission Window” on Blackboard before the due date/time. Be sure your response is
complete prior to its submission; forgotten citations (or other neglected elements) will not be
accepted through email and will be graded accordingly.

Question:
Write an essay in which you discuss the ethnic tensions and some of the current hot spots of conflict in
the Sub-Saharan region. Be certain to cite the major players in this conflict as well as the reason for
these tensions.

Requirements:
 A 250 – 300 word response for the question
 Submit your entry in the assignment’s Submission Window on Blackboard prior to the due
date/time listed in the syllabus.
 Do not submit the assignment as an attachment, use the Submission Window.

Citation Expectations:
If you quote material directly from the textbook then a parenthetical citation in the response and a
citation at the end of the response is required. Even if you do not quote material from the textbook I
expect to see the citation for the textbook at the end of your response.

Example of parenthetical citation in MLA format:

“The most persistent regional migration trend in North America has been the tendency for people to
move west” (Rowntree et al. 80).

Textbook citation in MLA format:

Rowntree, Lester, et al. Globalization and Diversity: Geography of a Changing World. Upper Saddle River,
N.J: Pearson Prentice Hall, 2016.
