UCLA Ghost Map The Story of Londons Most Terrifying Epidemic Essay
Question Description
Students – For a maximum of up to 10 extra credit points, write a 1-2 page (double-spaced) paper on the topic: “The Ghost Map”
The Ghost Map is a fascinating book about how a mystery about a widespread disease was solved using maps! Although this true story took place back in 1854, this is a timely topic with everything going on today with our current pandemic.
I don’t expect you to read the entire book (however, I’d be delighted if any of you told me that you decided to do so). Instead, you can research the summaries of it on the Internet. Here are a few resources: New York Times (Links to an external site.), Goodreads (Links to an external site.), Amazon (Links to an external site.), Wikipedia (Links to an external site.).

Some of the review links listed above have very short reviews, so you may need to view a few of them to get enough content to write a full page or two. There are also some videos out there, if you wish to view those in addition or instead.
Grammar and spelling count towards the grade, so be sure to run the spellchecker and/or have someone review it for you before you submit in order to ensure you earn maximum points.
Do not copy/plagiarize from your online resource (it’s going to be auto-checked by Turnitin.com/Vericite) and be sure to include your information source URL and date retrieved at the end of the paper!!
Let me know if you have any questions – just send me an email. This is the only extra credit assignment available.
Note: I know that Canvas shows this assignments is worth 0 points, but it’s worth 10 points beyond the course total points of 500, so Canvas displays it as 0 so that it doesn’t penalize those students who choose not to complete the extra credit.
