Specific Requirements:
– Reference: The documents in Paper 1# document packet and the book of Eric Foner, “Give Me Liberty! An American History”, Seagull 6th edition, Volume 1.
– Thesis: The thesis must clearly identify at least one change or continuity in Anglo-American and/or colonial societies within the specified time frame.
The thesis must make a historically defensible claim; the paper must contain an argument that can be corroborated or contradicted using evidence.
The thesis must appear in the introductory paragraph of the paper.
Merely re-stating the prompt is insufficient.
– Contextualization:
+ Demonstrate an understanding of the basic meaning of at least two (2) documents from the Paper #1 Document Packet.
You may demonstrate understanding by correctly placing the document in valid historical context or stating its significance in your own words or contextual quotation.
Cite documents using the Document number in the packet (parenthetical citations or footnotes are acceptable).
+ Provide at least one (1) piece of additional evidence or historical context from the Foner textbook or an appropriate secondary source (cite the page number from the Foner textbook).
This evidence may not be drawn from the documents themselves.
Passing references to outside evidence are insufficient; you must explicitly link your evidence to your argument and/or the documents.
– Analysis and Synthesis: Identify and analyze at least one (1) change or continuity in Anglo-American and/or colonial societies between 1600 and 1700 using documents.
The change/continuity must be supported by at least two documents from the document packet (you may use the same documents as in the Contextualization section).
The documents must be explicitly linked together in your argument.
Analyze at least one reason for a change or continuity between 1600 and 1700.
You must provide an argument for why change or continuity occurred.
You may get the point by showing a direct causal link between two or more pieces of evidence (secondary evidence may be helpful in establishing this link).
-Use a standard font size (11 or 12) and margins (1”),
