PLEASE READ
Here are the requirements for the Essay:
PLEASE LOOK AT ATTACHED DOCS AS WELL AS THE EXAMPLE ESSAY WHICH RECIEVED A PERFECT SCORE TO WRITE THIS ONE. The attached docs are important as they outline how the essay MUST be written.
The purpose of the historical essay is to analyze historical facts in order to inform and persuade the reader.
Essays include three parts: an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. I need an introduction in which you state your thesis (argument), multiple body paragraphs (see attached docs for a better outline) where you introduce and analyze evidence to support your thesis, and a conclusion.
Formatting and Sources
It must follow the appropriate guidelines specified.
- Should be double-spaced, 12-point font, Times New Roman, pdf on google docs.
- Underline or highlight your thesis and your main ideas (topic sentences).
- There is no length requirement, but a good A essay is usually three or more typed pages.
- Each paragraph should include at least three cited examples to support your main idea. There are 9 examples to be used in the essay in total, 3 in each body paragraph. I will give you the examples you need to cover in each paragraph, you can distribute them to each paragraph as to make it coherant, but there must be 3 in each of the 3 body paragraphs.
- The examples: The Indian Removal act of 1830, Abolitionalism and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, Seneca Falls Convention, The Cotton Revolution, Nat Turners Slave Rebellion, Manifest Destiny, US-Mexican War, The Missouri Compromise, Scott v. Sandford.
- Do NOT worry about citations, do NOT use any outside references/books/online sources to write the essay. Just use the examples provided to write the essay.
- The essay should generally avoid use of first/second person point-of-view (you, your, I, my, etc.).
- Also, make sure you cover the entire time period.
- It would be really helpful if you could get it to me a bit earlier than the deadline so I can tweak or make changes as neccessary.
