Instruction
Want you to make a skeletal outline from the prompt which is "Describe the political development of the United States from 1776 to 1848. Being sure to discuss key issues, opposition, and figures, evaluate the state of U.S. politics in 1848, relative to the ideals of the revolution." I don't want you to make a essay out of this prompt! Make sure you follow the instructions in order;
Organize - break the prompt down into a skeletal outline that provides a structure to address the prompt directly, and completely;
Research - go through all the assigned sources, pulling out anything that relates to the prompt;
Analyze - go through your raw research data, choosing the items that best address the prompt, and putting them in the most appropriate place in the outline;
Synthesize - be sure you have used information from multiple sources to create an entirely original piece of historical writing;
Interpret - think about the topic, and your research - develop a thesis, and argue that thesis throughout the paper.
Beware its due before 11pm on Friday, March 29.
