In a 1200-word essay, answer the below question and create an argument that supports your thesis.
Prompt: Why did the United States transform from a rural to an urban country between 1865 and 1945? Focus on (1) key factor and explain how that factor contributed to the transformation of the United States during the period in question.
General Instructions (see the checklist for more requirements):
Do not plagiarize. All phrases taken word-for-word from a document must be surrounded with quotation marks and followed by an in-text citation. In addition, you must include that source on your Works Cited page. If you paraphrase anything, you should follow that section with an in-text citation. Do not change every third or fourth word of someone else’s writing in order to complete this assignment.
Use at least (5) primary sources from the “SOURCES OF FREEDOM” documents provided on the D2L course site (see below for exceptions). The use of these sources must followed by an in-text citation and be included in your works cited.
(1) SOURCES OF FREEDOM document may be substituted for a library book. (1) SOURCES OF FREEDOM document may be substituted for an academic article accessed from Galileo. If you choose to use library books/articles, you must still have a minimum of (3) SOURCES OF FREEDOM documents.
Do not use sources other than those mentioned here (the textbook, lecture notes, physical library books, sources from the D2L course site, and academic articles accessed via Galileo). Do not use internet sources.
Include a Works Cited Page. Cite all quotes and references to specific ideas and data. Citations on your Works Cited page MUST be in proper form that conforms with the citation standard you pick. You may use any FORMAL citation method. For help citing work and creating a work cited page, consult a librarian or visit: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/
You must include at least (9) concrete and specific examples (the names of people, places, events or ideas). This is the bare minimum number of specific examples and may earn you a ‘C’ at best.
6. Papers with less than 1200 words will be penalized. Your Work Cited page does not count towards the 1200 required words.
Guidelines
Include an introductory paragraph (length: 4-6 sentences).
This should include:
A topic sentence. This sentence will give the reader a specific idea of the subject/topic of the essay.
1-2 more sentences setting the context. For example, if you’re writing about the American Revolution, include a couple of sentences talking about the events leading up to it.
Thesis statement. Your thesis should be clear, concise, fully address the prompt, and be specific. It should have a clear (and specific) argument and have a why or how component.
For example: “The Civil War was caused by a debate over the expansion of slavery across North America.”
A poor thesis statement is: “The Civil War was an important event in American history.
Another poor thesis statement is: “The Civil War was caused by social, cultural, and political factors.”
A roadmap sentence that outlines how you will argue your thesis statement. This sentence may follow an “a, b, and c” formula. All elements (a, b, and c) should support and be directly relevant to your thesis. Your roadmap should be independent of your thesis.
For example: Most important in this debate was the question of the balance of power in the U.S. Congress, human rights abuses of slaves, and religious ideas about the morality of slavery.
Include at least (3) body paragraphs (length: 6-10 sentences or more for each paragraph). *Note: paragraphs should not be more than 3/4th of a page double spaced.
This should include:
A topic sentence. Your topic sentence should give the reader a specific sense of what the body paragraph is about. Topic sentence should also be relatable back to thesis. In other words, it should be obvious or explicitly stated how the topic sentence (and body paragraph) supports the thesis statement. Be direct and concise.
For example, “The question of the balance of power in the U.S. Congress caused political conflict between the North and the South.”
Provide a concrete and specific example. Use an example to support your thesis.
Introduce example from the text book or primary source. Simple factual statement or a brief quotation is okay.
Interpret example/primary source. Analyze here. Find something insightful to say.
Explain relevance of example/primary source to overall argument. Explicitly tie back to thesis, if need be.
Use another example, if you want.
Introduce example/primary source. Simple factual statement is okay.
Interpret example/primary source. Analyze here. Find something insightful to say.
Explain relevance of example/primary source to overall argument. Explicitly tie back to thesis, if need be.
Wrap up/Conclude paragraph (maybe two sentences). Craft a sentence to explain relevance of your examples/primary sources to your thesis. You should also transition to the next paragraph.
For example, “The question of the balance of power in the U.S. Congress was closely related to outrage over human rights abuses of slaves.” (Outrage over the human rights abuses of slaves should be the subject of the next support paragraph.)
