The Impact of Industrialization on American Society: A Historical Analysis of Primary Sources

1. Write an essay (introduction, main points/body, conclusion) of MORE THAN 1100 words;
2. In your own words – if you must quote, count the cut-n-pasted word count of the quote AND ADD IT 
TO THE 1100 word minimum requirement. 350 words in quotes means the essay should total 
MORE than 1450 words.
3. Adhere to rules of English grammar, spelling and punctuation
4. Keep the phrasing in the THIRD PERSON and the tense in the past.
(“One may conclude” not “I believe”, and “They WERE” not “They ARE”
5. Citations, if given, should be formatted as FOOTNOTES or ENDNOTES, not in text. In other words, 
according to The Chicago Manual of Style and NOT APA/MLA. A cover page and/or a works-cited page
are not required.
APPROACH 1:  The first possible approach would see you choose one of the Chapter-specific documents and write an essay answering a question or questions of your own devising related to that document.  Answer your question(s) by reading the document(s) provided in the form of an essay. For Unit 01, you are limited to the topics covered in Chapters 1-2-3-4-5. The essay is to be submitted via the Canvas Turnitin button at the bottom of this page. 
APPROACH 2: This approach sees you choosing from the same primary sources for a given chapter, but analyzing one (OR MORE, in a compare/contrast format) with reference to these QUESTIONS which should form the body of  your ESSAY.  In this approach you are writing about the document(s) and/or image(s) as HISTORICAL ARTIFACTS to be INTERPRETED BY YOU, AS YOU SEE FIT, guided by the questions available via the “Questions” link.  Again, you should present the answers IN THE FORM OF AN ESSAY (Intro, main points, conclusion), NOT AS SIMPLE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS, and submit it via the “HERE” link below.
ONLY choose from documents in Parts 1-2-3-4-5
