During the semester, students are conducting background readings and analyzing
historical documents from early American history. The essays provide students an
opportunity to demonstrate their growing knowledge. Answers to the essay questions
need to be based on historical evidence drawn from course materials, including
readings, lectures, and primary sources. Strong essays will utilize historical documents
as evidential support and offer specific critical analysis. Each essay must be 900-1000
words in length. Direct quotes taken from the Yawp textbook or primary source reader
need to include parenthetical citations. If students are unsure of how to write expository
essays, an informative guide can be found at the Purdue OWL. Use only these resources Sample parenthetical citations
